Disorder-Induced Quantum Spin Liquid in Spin Ice Pyrochlores
We propose that in a certain class of magnetic materials, known as non-Kramers "spin ice," disorder induces quantum entanglement. Instead of driving glassy behavior, disorder provokes quantum superpositions of spins throughout the system and engenders an associated emergent gauge structure...
