Physicists use the concept of quantum Fisher information to explain poor electrical conductivity in these unusual materials ...

Scientists have long been intrigued by strange metals—materials that don’t follow the usual rules of electricity and magnetism. Unlike familiar metals like copper or gold, which conduct electricity in ...

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 ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Quantum entanglement in strange metals peaks at a critical transition point, revealing unique electron behavior. This discovery, using quantum Fisher information ...

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 at Rice University has made a ...

Strange metals could play a role in future quantum technologies, where enhanced entanglement is a valuable resource. The research provides a new framework for characterizing these complex ...

With these results mostly inspiring more discussion and research, it’ll probably be a while still before we risk replacing the Fermi liquid theory, or apply strange metal findings to produce ...

Strange metals defy the 60-year-old understanding of electric current as a flow of discrete charges. (Nanowerk News) We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving in a metal. Each ...
