moving in certain solids can behave as if
they are a thousand times more massive than free electrons.
This is an interesting effect. I believe the full text (daunting reading)

I am no expert on this, but my impression
Entanglement is hard to understand.
Here is my take on what this article says.
When subatomic particles become entangled, they essentially share the same
matter wave form. It is like a group of people who decide to poll their
money in a bank in a joint account where any of these people can

In the matter of Widom and Larsen, some fun numbers:
mass proton: 938 MeV
mass electron: 511 MeV
Sorry -- mis-transcription. That's 511 KeV for the electron.

It seems to me that the heavy or ---identically--- the speedy electrons
cannot be confined to orbit an atom; they need the wide open spaces of the
open lattice to show off their speed.
Only low energy electrons can orbit atoms. The referenced articles do not
talk about neutrons, just electrons.

quasi-particles described only exist at relatively low energies, and

Caution…Mass is condensed matter physics is different from mass as it
appears in other physics.
