Holographic Quantum Matter
by S. A. Hartnoll, A. Lucas, S. Sachdev
Publisher: arXiv.org 2018
Number of pages: 178
Description:
We present a review of theories of states of quantum matter without quasiparticle excitations. Solvable examples of such states are provided through a holographic duality with gravitational theories in an emergent spatial dimension. We review the duality between gravitational backgrounds and the various states of quantum matter which live on the boundary.

Dark Matter and Other Elementary Particlesby Lee Schroeder - elementaryparticlesmodel.com
'Dark Matter and Other Elementary Particles' develops a spatial model of the elementary particles (e.g., proton, neutron, electron, quarks, nuclides, and mesons) for particle physics much as the 'ball and stick' model provides to chemistry.
