Quantum Spin Liquids

Quantum spin liquids are a state of matter in which magnetic materials' atomic spins remain constantly fluctuating and do not freeze into an ordered pattern, even at very low temperatures. Unlike typical magnets with aligned spins, these atoms behave like a "liquid" of magnetic moments, exhibiting strong quantum entanglement and exotic properties. This dynamic state supports unusual phenomena such as fractionalized excitations and long-range entanglement, making it significant for understanding fundamental physics and potential applications in quantum computing.
