A strange metal state appears in many strongly correlated materials from the cuprates, pnictides, and twisted bilayer graphenes to even bosonic systems. Enormous efforts are being made to unravel the nature of the non-Fermi liquid (NFL)…

We study a controlled large-$N$ theory of electrons coupled to dynamical two-level systems (TLSs) via spatially-random interactions. Such a physical situation arises when electrons scatter off low-energy excitations in a metallic glass,…
Unconventional superconductivity is often accompanied by non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior, which emerges near a quantum critical point (QCP) - a point where an electronic ordered phase is terminated at absolute zero under non-thermal…

`Strange' metals that do not follow the predictions of Fermi liquid theory are prevalent in materials that feature superconductivity arising from electron interactions. In recent years, it has been hypothesized that spatial randomness in…
Despite much theoretical effort, there is no complete theory of the 'strange' metal state of the high temperature superconductors, and its linear-in-temperature, $T$, resistivity. Recent experiments showing an unexpected linear-in-field,…
Significant effort has been devoted to the study of "non-Fermi liquid" (NFL) metals: gapless conducting systems that lack a quasiparticle description. One class of NFL metals involves a finite density of fermions interacting with soft order…
Quantum two-level systems (TLSs) intrinsic to glasses induce decoherence in many modern quantum devices, such as superconducting qubits. Although the low-temperature physics of these TLSs is usually well-explained by a phenomenological…
We consider an electron interacting locally with two-level systems (TLSs) as an archetypal model for charge transport in the presence of inelastic scatterers. To assess the importance of quantum effects in the optical and d.c. conductivity…
