There is a new collection of dots that the quantum spin liquid is bringing to the surface. The first is long distance entanglement. Even through the spins are random locally, then are coherent at long distances with other patches of random spins in the far field.
The spins become spinons, which are spins that exist separately from the electrons. These spinons generate factional spin. The spinons produce a new kind of magnetism, called spin liquid magnetism. http://phys.org/news/2012-12-kind-magnetism-quantum-liquid.html This spin liquid magnetism produces magnetic monopoles. http://phys.org/news/2009-09-magnetic-monopoles-real-magnet.html Finally, there is a theory that says that the vacuum is a quantum spin liquid. That is how the cosmos is connected together through entanglement and makes the vacuum a superconductor. This superconductivity of the vacuum produces mass in certain types of particles.
