The remarkable discovery of quantum oscillations in the normal ground state of the copper oxide superconductors left wide open the question of the associated electronic structure, with several dozen theories being proposed.
Our experimental tour de force of quantum oscillation measurements combined with results from complementary techniques revealed the electronic structure of the ground state to be a diamond-shaped nodal Fermi surface pocket created by biaxial charge density wave reconstruction.
