A concept from quantum information theory appears to explain at least some of the peculiar behaviour of so-called “strange” metals. The new approach, which was developed by physicists at Rice University in the US, attributes the unusually poor electrical conductivity of these metals to an increase in the quantum entanglement of their electrons. The team say the approach could advance our understanding of certain high-temperature superconductors and other correlated quantum structures.
