The local equilibration time $\tau_{\rm eq}$ of quantum many-body systems is conjectured to be bounded below by the Planckian time $\hbar /T$. We formalize this conjecture by defining $\tau_{\rm eq}$ as the time scale at which a…

We present a critical review of recent attempts to introduce the new quantum ("Planckian") limit for the temperature dependence of inelastic scattering rate of electrons in metals. We briefly discuss the main experimental facts and some…

We demonstrate that quantum mechanics entails a fundamental lower bound on the thermalization time $\tau$ of any system. At finite temperature, we show that $\tau$ is bounded by half the Planckian dissipation time, $\tau \geq \tau_{\rm…

The observation of Planckian scattering, often inferred from Drude fits in strongly correlated metals, raises the question of how to extract an intrinsic timescale from measurable quantities in a model-independent way. We address this by…

We derive a universal bound on the efficiency with which "dissipated" work can generate distinguishable changes in a quantum many-body state at a finite temperature, as quantified by the quantum Fisher information. The bound follows solely…

We consider the simplest model for $T$ - linear growth of resistivity in metals. It is shown that the so called "Planckian" limit for the temperature dependent relaxation rate of electrons follows from a certain procedure for representation…

The local equilibration time of quantum many-body systems has been conjectured to satisfy a `Planckian bound', $\tau_{\rm eq}\gtrsim \frac{\hbar}{T}$. We provide a sharp and universal definition of this time scale, and show that it is…

Could it be that the matter from the electrons in high Tc superconductors is of a radically new kind that may be called "many body entangled compressible quantum matter"? Much of this text is intended as an easy to read tutorial, explaining…

It has long been believed that dissipative time scales $\tau$ obey a "Planckian" bound $\tau \gtrsim \frac{\hbar}{k_{\mathrm{B}}T}$ in strongly coupled quantum systems. Despite much circumstantial evidence, however, there is no known $\tau$…

Efforts to understand metallic behaviour have led to important concepts such as those of strange metal, bad metal or Planckian metal. However, a unified description of metallic resistivity is still missing. An empirical analysis of a large…

Boundary time crystals exhibit spontaneous breaking of continuous time-translation symmetry through persistent periodic oscillations in driven-dissipative many-body systems. Here, we show that multilevel interference provides a natural…

Quantum effects in material systems are often pronounced at low energies and become insignificant at high temperatures. We find that, perhaps counterintuitively, certain quantum effects may follow the opposite route and become sharp when…

In various "strange" metals, electrons undergo Planckian dissipation, a strong and anomalous scattering that grows linearly with temperature, in contrast to the quadratic temperature dependence expected from the standard theory of metals.…

Strange metal behavior appears across a variety of condensed matter settings and beyond, and achieving a universal understanding is an exciting prospect. The beyond-Landau quantum criticality of Kondo destruction has had considerable…

The notion of the Planckian dissipation is extended to the system of the Caroli-de Gennes-Matricon discrete energy levels in the vortex core of superconductors and fermionic superfluids. In this extension, the Planck dissipation takes place…

We investigate the emergence of a time crystal in a driven-dissipative many-body spin array. In this system the interplay between incoherent spin pumping and collective emission stabilizes a synchronized non-equilibrium steady state which…

An interesting concept in condensed matter physics is Planckian dissipation, in particular its manifestation in a remarkable phenomenology of superfluid density as a function of superconducting transition temperature. The concept was…

We establish the existence of `time quasilattices' as stable trajectories in dissipative dynamical systems. These tilings of the time axis, with two unit cells of different durations, can be generated as cuts through a periodic lattice…

Between space crystals and amorphous materials there exists a third class of aperiodic structures which lack translational symmetry but reveal long-range order. They are dubbed quasi-crystals and their formation, similarly as the formation…

Strange metal behavior refers to a linear temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity at temperatures below the Mott-Ioffe-Regel limit. It is seen in numerous strongly correlated electron systems, from the heavy fermion compounds,…
