The quantum entanglement of many states of matter can be represented by electric and magnetic fields, much like those found in Maxwell’s theory. These fields ‘emerge’ from the quantum structure of the many-electron state, rather than being fundamental degrees of freedom of the vacuum. I review basic aspects of the theory of emergent gauge fields in insulators in an intuitive manner. In metals, Fermi liquid (FL) theory relies on adiabatic continuity from the free electron state, and its central consequence is the existence of long-lived electron-like quasi-particles around a Fermi surface enclosing a volume determined by the total density of electrons, via the Luttinger theorem. However, long-range entanglement and emergent gauge fields can also be present in metals. I focus on the ‘fractionalized Fermi liquid’ (FL*) state, which also has long-lived electron-like quasi-particles around a Fermi surface; however, the Luttinger theorem on the Fermi volume is violated, and this requires the presence of emergent gauge fields, and the associated loss of adiabatic continuity with the free electron state. Finally, I present a brief survey of some recent experiments in the hole-doped cuprate superconductors, and interpret the properties of the pseudogap regime in the framework of the FL* theory. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Unifying physics and technology in light of Maxwell's equations’.

ABSTRACTIn this work we address the behaviour of electronic structure under uniaxial stress, by first-principles calculations and experiments of conductance in nanometer-sized metallic contactes of Au and Al. These contacts are shown to be specially suitable for this purpose. The conductance behaviour is related to the change with strain of Fermi surface. Both experimental and theoretically Au behaves like the free electron gas but Al has the opposite behaviour.

ABSTRACTWe study the effects of quantum-well states on the calculated RKKY coupling. We find that the bound states of a finite-size potential well of depth V give an added oscillation period of size For the simplest case of a spherical free-electron Fermi surface, thus two periods appear: the original, “fast,” π/kf oscillation, and the quantum-well one The quantum-well contributions have larger amplitude, and are in fact the predominant oscillation. For physically reasonable V (tenths of an eV) this period is around 8–10Å. We discuss evidence for these effects in experimental systems.
