Fermi surface reconstruction in cuprates can lead to an abrupt change in the Fermi momentum $k_F$ between different phases. This phenomenon remains subject of debate and is at the heart of an ongoing discussion about the nature of the…

A quantum critical point (QCP) develops in a material at absolute zero when a new form of order smoothly emerges in its ground state. QCPs are of great current interest because of their singular ability to influence the finite temperature…
