实验凝聚态物理的主要目标是通过实验从凝聚态的微观相互作用和对称性中寻求对凝聚态宏观行为的理解。凝聚态物理中发展的基本概念通常会对物理的其他领域产生重大影响。布朗的一大批实验物理学家使用广泛的技术研究各种凝聚态的物质。物理学博士（PhD）计划为学生提供了在物理学的最新和最活跃领域中进行独立研究的机会。在第一年，学生将通过核心课程，部门讨论会和培训来发展扎实而广泛的物理知识基础。随后，高级课程和部门研讨会系列提供了更多的专业知识。拥有核心知识的博士生加入了一个研究小组，该研究小组在特别感兴趣的领域工作。这项研
Experimental condensed matter physics seeks an understanding of the macroscopic behavior of condensed matter, such as a collection of electrons, atoms or molecules, from their microscopic interactions and symmetries through experiments. The most relevant physical laws applied to condensed matter are quantum mechanics, electromagnetism and statistical mechanics. Faculty research in this field focuses on the electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of solids with strong electron correlation effects and/or spin-orbit interaction, phase transitions in disordered media, and quantum liquids and solids. Our faculty members develop and employ state of the art techniques to both fundamental and applied problems in these arenas. They collaborate with colleagues in the Condensed Matter Theory group and other physical science departments as well as colleagues from around the world. Discoveries in condensed matter often lead to technological breakthroughs having tremendous commercial potential, for example, quantum computers, information storage devices, ultrasensitive sensors used in Internet of Things (IoTs), modern transportation systems as in magnetic/superconducting levitation trains or electric vehicles.
