The origin of pseudogap in high-T c superconductors remains a big puzzle. Here, the authors report numerical evidence of pseudogap behavior employing Quantum Monte Carlo algorithm emerging from pairing fluctuations in a quantum-critical non-Fermi liquid, similar to the pseudogap phase observed in cuprate superconductors.
