abstract

We study a controlled large-$N$ theory of electrons coupled to dynamical two-level systems (TLSs) via spatially-random interactions. Such a physical situation arises when electrons scatter off low-energy excitations in a metallic glass, such as a charge or stripe glass. Our theory is governed by a non-Gaussian saddle point, which maps to the celebrated spin-boson model. By tuning the coupling strength we find that the model crosses over from a Fermi liquid at weak coupling to an extended region of non-Fermi liquid behavior at strong coupling, and realizes a marginal Fermi liquid at the crossover. Beyond a critical coupling strength, the TLSs freeze and Fermi-liquid behavior is restored. Our results are valid for generic space dimensions $d>1$.

  1. Interaction-enhanced quantum to classical transport crossover temperature in a Luttinger liquid

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-07 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    Repulsive interactions in a Luttinger liquid coupled to acoustic phonons are predicted to raise the crossover temperature between quantum and classical transport regimes by more than an order of magnitude.

  2. The foot, the fan, and the cuprate phase diagram: Fermi-volume-changing quantum phase transitions

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-01 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    The paper attributes the cuprate 'foot' to a disordered spin-density-wave transition and the 'fan' to a disorder-tuned FL-to-FL* Fermi-volume-changing transition described by a two-dimensional Yukawa-SYK model.
