1 The 34 th Jerusalem School in Theoretical Physics NEW HORIZONS IN QUANTUM MATTER 27.12, , 2017 Photo credit Frans Lanting / Modern quantum materials realize a remarkably rich set of electronic phases. This school will explore the many new concepts and methods which have been developed in recent years, moving beyond the traditional paradigms of Fermi liquid theory and spontaneous symmetry breaking. In particular, longrange quantum entanglement appears in topological and quantum-critical states, and the school will discuss new techniques required to describe their observable properties.

4 Quantum matter without quasiparticles Quasiparticles are long-lived excitations which can be combined to yield the complete low-energy many-body spectrum Quasiparticles need not be electrons: they can be emergent excitations which involve non-local changes in the wave function of the underlying electrons e.g. Laughlin quasiparticles, visons... How do we rule out quasiparticle excitations? Examine the time it takes to reach local thermal equilibrium. Equilibration takes a long time while quasiparticles collide (in Fermi liquids, 1/T 2 ;in gapped systems, e /T ). Systems without quasiparticles saturate a (conjectured) lower bound on the local-equilibration/de-phasing/ transition-to-quantum-chaos time ' C ~ k B T where C is a T -independent constant.

Imaginary part of Green s function for hardcore boson and fermion model. The center gets much higher in the boson model when system size gets larger. The inset figure near! = 0. However, exact diagonalization of the same model with hard-core bosons indicates the presence of spin-glass order in the ground state. Unlike the fermionic case, P 2 =1forallN in the bosonic model. We can apply simi argument as in Ref. [14]: for the half-filled sector (only in even N cases), the level st the Wigner-Dyson distribution of Gaussian orthogonal random matrix ensembles, w filling sectors, it obeys distribution of Gaussian unitary random matrix ensembles. Our thermal entropy results for bosons are similar to the fermionic results: althoug eventually approaches 0 at zero temperature, there is still a trend of a larger low entropy residue as the system size gets larger.!/j

The latter phase has a small Fermi surface of conduction electrons, along with a spin liquid of local moments. This correspondence implies that certain mean-field gapless spin liquids are states of matter at nonzero density realizing the near-horizon, AdS 2 R 2 physics of Reissner- Nordström black holes.
