On Black Holes and Momentum Relaxation in the Cuprates - Erik van Heumen

Explore a 30-minute conference talk on black holes and momentum relaxation in cuprate materials, presented by Erik van Heumen from the University of Amsterdam. Delve into cutting-edge research that bridges theoretical physics and experimental observations in quantum matter. Gain insights into the application of black hole physics concepts to understand electron transport and scattering phenomena in high-temperature superconductors. Examine the challenges to the Fermi-liquid paradigm and discuss potential new frameworks for describing quantum materials. Recorded as part of the "Electron Correlations beyond the Quasiparticle Paradigm: Theory and Experiment" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this talk contributes to the ongoing dialogue between theorists and experimentalists in the field of strongly correlated electron systems.
