The field of correlation physics continuously expands its horizons. As a primary objective of the field, we aim to determine the organization of the many billions of billions of electrons in the quantum universe of a solid, taking into account both the electrons’ quantum mechanical nature and their electrostatic repulsive interaction. In the standard description, quasiparticle is a central concept. It acts as the adiabatic continuation of a bare electron in the presence of interactions, and is resilient when the interactions are treated perturbatively.
In this talk, I will describe how quasiparticles can break apart in the presence of strong correlations, leading to strange metal behavior. As exemplary settings, heavy fermion metals [1] will be considered and flat band systems will be touched upon [2]. I will also discuss how strange metallicity nucleates topology without quasiparticles [3] and amplifies quantum entanglement [4].
