We are ...Thanks for the interesting comment Ross! <br /><br />We are very excited by these development, but the big question at this time is how general this phenomenon is. We believe that our definition of the "instability" line around which we perform the scaling analysis, that can also be called the "Quantum Widom Line", should allow proper analyses to be performed in a broader class of quantum critical points separating metals from insulators. <br /><br />Other questions are also of much interest: (1) can one find models where the critical end point Tc is much smaller, so the quantum critical region extends to much lower temperatures? (2) can disorder suppress coexistence and stabilize a true quantum critical point at T=0? These questions should be possible to examine both experimentally and theoretically. This line of work seems to open very exciting directions for future work. Vlad Dobrosavljevichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07405260417982480876noreply@blogger.com
