The holographic duality allows to construct and study models of strongly coupled quantum matter via dual gravitational theories. In general such models are characterized by the absence of quasiparticles, hydrodynamic behavior and Planckian dissipation times. One particular interesting class of quantum materials are ungapped topological semimetals which have many interesting properties from Hall transport to topologically protected edge states. We review the application of the holographic duality to this type of quantum matter including the construction of holographic Weyl semimetals, nodal line semimetals, quantum phase transition to trivial states (ungapped and gapped), the holographic dual of Fermi arcs and how new unexpected transport properties, such as Hall viscosities arise. The holographic models promise to lead to new insights into the properties of this type of quantum matter.

  1. Out-of-bounds hydrodynamics in holographic anisotropic Dirac semimetals

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A backreacted holographic model of an anisotropic Dirac semimetal gives η/s below the KSS bound in the quantum critical region, with low-temperature scaling η/s ~ T^0.56 tied to a Lifshitz dynamical exponent z ≈ 1.9.

  2. Multipartite entanglement characterizing topological phase transitions in holographic nodal line semimetals

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Tripartite entanglement measures in holographic nodal line semimetals vanish at long distance but decay with phase-dependent power laws that jump at the quantum critical point.
