Distinctive behavior of quantum spin liquids
In typical magnets, the spins of electrons align in a uniform direction. However, in a quantum spin liquid, the spins of electrons do not align in a uniform manner.
“Instead of the well-ordered characteristics of ferromagnets, these materials are disordered and the electrons within them connect magnetically via a process called quantum entanglement,” added the press release.
This behavior is driven by quantum entanglement, a phenomenon where the fates of individual electrons become intertwined.
