This work allows for a new way to understand the collective state of matter in quantum critical metals where electrons lose their individual identity.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This research provides a new framework for understanding the collective behavior of electrons in quantum critical metals, potentially leading to advancements in quantum information technologies. It suggests that highly collective quantum materials, like strange metals, exhibit particularly high entanglement.
