More is different*2-body problem solved:
with Newton’s gravitation law3-body problem: no general
solution is known.
Weak interactions: approximate methodsBose Einstein CondensationLow Temperature Superconductivity
Strong interactions: Problem!High Temperature Superconductivity not
understood

Less is more*Low dimensional systems are usually strongly
interacting:In 1+1 dim: particles always interact when
interchanging positions.New phenomenaOften exactly solvable!
*Robert Browning (English poet)

Dynamics in 1+1 dimensionsClassical 2-body scattering:
Elastic scatteringsConservation of total energy
and momentum
Momenta are interchanged
Quantum 2-body scattering: wavefunctions can gain a phase shift!
