Abstract

We study the effect of nematic quantum critical fluctuations on quasiparticle interference. We show that nematic quantum critical fluctuations, which cause back and forth slushing of the d-wave nodes along the underlying Fermi surface, provide a natural mechanism for the accumulation of coherence that has been present in QPI experiments.
