Physicists in US and Austria, have managed to observe billions upon billions of quantum entangled electrons flowing through the film of a quantum critical metal, YbRh2Si2. Measurements conducted, reveal that optical conductivity of the metallic films being cooled to a quantum critical point, marked the transition from one quantum phase to another. The findings suggest that quantum criticality can be used to study both quantum information and high-temperature superconductivity.
