A new theory explains the unusual behavior of strange metals, considered one of the greatest open challenges in condensed matter physics. The theory is based on two properties of strange metals. First, their electrons can become quantum mechanically entangled with one another, binding their fates, and they remain entangled even when distantly separated. Second, strange metals have a nonuniform arrangement of atoms.
Recent research led by Aavishkar Patel from the Center for Computational Quantum Physics at the Flatiron Institute in New York City has finally unveiled a mechanism that explains the characteristic properties of strange metals., Patel and his colleagues present their universal theory of why strange metals are so weird — a solution to one of the greatest unsolved problems in condensed matter physics.
The new theory is based on a combination of two properties of strange metals. First, their electrons can become quantum mechanically entangled with one another, binding their fates, and they remain entangled even when distantly separated. Second, strange metals have a nonuniform, patchwork-like arrangement of atoms.
Patel says that a better understanding of strange metals could help physicists develop and fine-tune new superconductors for applications such as quantum computers.
