What happens to matter when you squeeze it very, very hard ?
A child might ask this question, as might a neutron star astrophysicist or a quantum field theorist looking for challenges.
By adapting the methods of superconductivity theory (BCS) to the fundamental theory of matter (QCD) we get some beautiful and surprising answers.
(For experts : We find both confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in a controlled, weak-coupling approximation.)
The nature of quark-quark (QQ) interactions play a crucial role in the analysis, which motivates some new phenomenology leading to a dramatic prediction.
