Holographic Quantum Matterby S. A. Hartnoll, A. Lucas, S. Sachdev - arXiv.org
We present a review of theories of states of quantum matter without quasiparticle excitations. Solvable examples of such states are provided through a holographic duality with gravitational theories in an emergent spatial dimension.
