Quantum acoustics unravels Planckian resistivity

A Aydin, J Keski-Rahkonen, EJ Heller - Proceedings of the National …, 2024 - pnas.org
Strange metals exhibit universal linear-in-temperature resistivity described by a Planckian
scattering rate, the origin of which remains elusive. By employing an approach inspired by …

Strange metals and planckian transport in a gapless phase from spatially random interactions

'Strange'metals that do not follow the predictions of Fermi liquid theory are prevalent in
materials that feature superconductivity arising from electron interactions. In recent years, it …

A bound on thermalization from diffusive fluctuations

LV Delacrétaz - Nature Physics, 2025 - nature.com
The local equilibration time of quantum many-body systems has been conjectured to satisfy
a Planckian bound, so that it always exceeds some value on the order of ℏ/T, where T is the …

Quantum chaos and phase transition in the Yukawa–Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model

A Davis, Y Wang - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We analyze the relation between quantum chaotic behavior and phase transitions of the
