Quantum electric-dipole liquid on a triangular lattice

In magnetic materials, geometry-defined competing interactions between spins combined with quantum fluctuations can present the possibility of quantum liquid states which do not order even as 0K is approached. Here, the authors present an analogue built from electric dipoles on a triangular lattice.
