Study proposes new mechanism underpinning intrinsic strange metal behavior

Physicists use quantum entanglement to crack mystery of strange metals

Scientists have long sought to unravel the mysteries of strange metals -- materials that defy conventional rules of electricity and magnetism. Now, a team of physicists has made a breakthrough in this area using a tool from quantum information science. The study reveals that electrons in strange metals become more entangled at a crucial tipping point, shedding new light on the behavior of these enigmatic materials. The discovery could pave the w…

Study proposes new mechanism underpinning intrinsic strange metal behavior

Quantum critical points are thresholds that mark the transition of materials between different electronic phases at absolute zero temperatures, around which they often exhibit exotic physical properties.

Physicists' discovery could change the use of energy.
