Description

Strange metals, found in high-temperature superconductors and other strongly correlated systems, display unconventional transport such as robust linear-in-temperature resistivity that defies Fermi liquid theory. My research explores a disorder-driven approach inspired by the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev (SYK) model, showing that linear resistivity persists under scalar and vector random couplings, even in magnetic fields. Beyond transport, these models suggest a deeper link between disorder and quantum entanglement: our recent work connects disorder averages to wormhole and entanglement structures, providing a concrete realisation of the ER=EPR conjecture. These results point towards a unified framework of strange metals that bridges disorder, entanglement, and holography.
