Abstract

Quantum acoustics - a recently developed framework parallel to quantum optics - establishes a nonperturbative and coherent treatment of the electron-phonon interaction in real space. The quantum-acoustical representation reveals a displaced Drude peak hiding in plain sight within the venerable Fröhlich model: the optical conductivity exhibits a finite frequency maximum in the far-infrared range and the dc conductivity is suppressed. Our results elucidate the origin of the high-temperature absorption peaks in strange or bad metals, revealing that dynamical lattice disorder steers the system towards a non-Drude behavior.
