DESCRIPTION:Many models in physics focus on a small number of particles (o
 ften two) which are placed in an empty universe.  But in solids and liquid
 s\, the number of particles is vast and many-particle interactions cannot 
 be ignored.  Moreover\, the world is quantum-mechanical\, not classical\, 
 and this further enriches the possible consequences of these interactions.
   New emergent phenomena appear\, whose origin is hard to guess from the b
 asic underlying equations (the Schrôdinger equation) but which can be des
 cribed by new physical principles.  I will describe some recent highlights
  of this exciting field of quantum matter\, and in particular how such sys
 tems can be studied using muons\, radioactive particles which can be impla
 nted inside solids and allow a measurement of microscopic magnetic fields.
