Abstract

Quantum spin liquids have magnetic moments that do not form magnetic order even as the temperature approaches zero, leading to the dominance of quantum fluctuations. Chillal et al. present evidence that the hyper-hyperkagome lattice of PbCuTe2O6 hosts a three-dimensional quantum spin liquid.
