Flat bands, strange metals and the Kondo effect

JG Checkelsky, BA Bernevig, P Coleman, Q Si… - Nature Reviews …, 2024 - nature.com
Flat-band materials such as the kagome metals or moiré superlattices are of intense current
interest. Flat bands can result from the electron motion on numerous (special) lattices and …

Are heavy fermion strange metals Planckian?

M Taupin, S Paschen - Crystals, 2022 - mdpi.com
Strange metal behavior refers to a linear temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity
that is not due to electron–phonon scattering. It is seen in numerous strongly correlated …

Theory of shot noise in strange metals

A Nikolaenko, S Sachdev, AA Patel - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
We extend the theory of shot noise in coherent metals to shot noise in strange metals without
quasiparticle excitations. This requires a generalization of the Boltzmann equation with a …

Solvable theory of a strange metal at the breakdown of a heavy Fermi liquid

EE Aldape, T Cookmeyer, AA Patel, E Altman - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We introduce an effective theory for quantum critical points (QCPs) in heavy-fermion
systems, involving a change in carrier density without symmetry breaking. Our theory …

Complex many-particle quantum entanglement is a central theme in two distinct major topics
in physics: the strange metal state found in numerous correlated electron compounds, and …

Controlled bond expansion for density matrix renormalization group ground state search at single-site costs

A Gleis, JW Li, J Von Delft - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
DMRG ground state search algorithms employing symmetries must be able to expand virtual
bond spaces by adding or changing symmetry sectors if these lower the energy. Traditional …
