You can now watch the PARADIM Summer School talk I gave online at Johns Hopkins University. The goal with this talk was to introduce students to concepts they may need to understand the literature in the field of correlated electron materials, with a focus on superconductors, particularly cuprate and nickelate based ones; I discuss topics including what correlated electron materials are, Jahn-Teller distortions, different types of orbital models, and introduce in a non-technical way how to read a dynamical mean field theory paper and its spectral functions, and what a self-energy is.
