“Heavy” Electrons Hold the Key to a New Type of Quantum Computer A research team from The University of Osaka has uncovered that “heavy fermions”—electrons with a dramatically increased effective mass—exhibit quantum entanglement governed by Planckian time in the compound Cerium‑Rhodium‑Tin (CeRhSn). This quasi‑kagome Kondo lattice material demonstrates non‑Fermi liquid behavior nearly up to room temperature, and heavy electron lifetimes approach the fundamental Planckian limit. The findings, reported in npj Quantum Materials, highlight anisotropic dynamical Planckian scaling in the Drude response below 80 K in the Ce quasi‑kagome plane, signaling quantum criticality tied to strong conduction–f‑electron hybridization . This discovery opens exciting possibilities for manipulating entanglement in solid‑state materials and designing novel quantum computing architectures based on Planckian‑time–controlled heavy fermions.
