Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 3956–3959 (1999)Continuity of Quark and Hadron MatterReceived 30 November 1998; published in the issue dated 17 May 1999 We review, clarify, and extend the notion of color-flavor locking. We present evidence that for three degenerate flavors the qualitative features of the color-flavor locked state, reliably predicted for high density, match the expected features of hadronic matter at low density. This provides, in particular, a controlled, weak-coupling realization of confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in this (slight) idealization of QCD. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
