MAGNET is being levitated by an unseen superconductor in which
countless trillions of electrons form a vast inter connected quan-
tum state. Astoundingly, the quantum state of many modern
materials is subtly related to the mathematics of black holes.

quantum theory across a black hole horizon led to many astonishing
conclusions

Hawking used this to show that black hole horizons have an entropy and a temperature
(because to an outside observer, the state of the electron inside the black hole is an unknown)

Almost all many-electron systems are described by the quasiparticle concept: a quasiparticle is an “excited lump” in the many-electron state which responds just like an ordinary particle.
• Quasiparticles are additive excitations:
The low-lying excitations of the many-body system
can be identified as a set {n↵} of quasiparticles with
energy "↵
E =
P↵ n↵"↵ +
P↵,� F↵�n↵n� + . . .

Almost all many-electron systems are described by the quasiparticle concept: a quasiparticle is an “excited lump” in the many-electron state which responds just like an ordinary particle.
• Quasiparticles eventually collide with each other. Such
collisions eventually leads to thermal equilibration in
a chaotic quantum state, but the equilibration takes
a long time. In a Fermi liquid, this time is of order
~EF /(kBT )2 as T ! 0, where EF is the Fermi energy.

The complex quantum entanglement in the strange metal does not allow for any quasiparticle excitations.
Quantum matter without quasiparticles
• Systems without quasiparticles, like the strange metal, reach quantum
chaos much more quickly than those with quasiparticles.
• There is an lower bound on the phase coherence time (⌧'), and the time
to many-body quantum chaos (⌧L) in all many-body quantum systems
as T ! 0:
⌧' � C~
kBT(SS, 1999)
⌧L � ~2⇡kBT
(Maldacena, Shenker, Stanford, 2015)
So e.g. we cannot have ⌧' ⇠ ~/pJkBT where J is a microscopic
coupling.
• In the strange metal the inequalities become equalities as T ! 0, and
the time ~/(kBT ) influences numerous observables.

The complex quantum entanglement in the strange metal does not allow for any quasiparticle excitations.
Quantum matter without quasiparticles
• Systems without quasiparticles, like the strange metal, reach quantum
chaos much more quickly than those with quasiparticles.
• There is an lower bound on the phase coherence time (⌧'), and the time
to many-body quantum chaos (⌧L) in all many-body quantum systems
as T ! 0:
⌧' � C~
kBT(SS, 1999)
⌧L � ~2⇡kBT
(Maldacena, Shenker, Stanford, 2015)
So e.g. we cannot have ⌧' ⇠ ~/pJkBT where J is a microscopic
coupling.

Strange metals
Quantum entanglement
• Strange metals have no
quasiparticle description.
• Their entropy is proportional
to their volume.
• They relax to local thermal
equilibrium in a time⇠ ~/(kBT ).
