Sumario:The way electrons behave in quantum materials is a vast and ever-growingresearch field, and one not without surprises. Although the foundationsof quantum mechanics were established a century ago, the combination oftheoretical and experimental efforts allows for undoubtedly fast advances.Moreover, frequently concepts borrowed from other fields, or even otherdisciplines, have proven crucial to describe a novel material. A paradigmaticexample is the Dirac equation, which predicted the existence of thepositron, but is also widely used to describe diverse materials in muchlower energy regimes...
