Title: Strange and stringy.
Authors: Sachdev, Subir
Source: Scientific American. Jan2013, Vol. 308 Issue 1, p44-51. 8p.
Subjects: Condensed matter, Electron research, Quantum entanglement, String models (Physics), Quantum chemistry, Superconductors, Quantum theory
Abstract: The author discusses states of matter other than solids, liquids, and gases that arise from transitions among electrons in materials that can be described in part by string theory and quantum physics. He describes the applicability of quantum entanglement in explaining the instantaneous anticorrelation communications that appear to occur between electrons. Topics include the theory of gravitation developed by the physicist Albert Einstein, crystal structures, superconductors, black holes, and collaboration between specialists in string theory and condensed matter. The impact of electron spin on barium iron arsenide is mentioned.
