Researchers proposed a scenario of a light-induced topological phase called a Floquet-Weyl semimetal. They find that the motion of the electrons when excited by a laser allows a spin-polarized surface ...

Quantum geometry describes quantum states in systems with changing system parameters, such as an electron spinning in a magnetic field whose direction is slowly changing. The state of the electron ...

At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The definition of topological states should be generalized. The work is published ...

The achievement comes after the company spent nearly two decades of research in the field, but Microsoft claims that building Majorana 1 required that it create an entirely new state of matter, which ...

Topological states have stable, immutable features of great interest for quantum computing and communications, and physicists from the United States and Europe have now discovered how to switch a ...

The non-chiral kagome lattice (corner-sharing triangles) basis of the topological material KV3Sb5 is found to develop subtle electronic chirality near the surface which shows distinct electromagnetic ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: In 2016, three researchers from Brown, Princeton, and the University of Washington received the Nobel Prize of Physics for their theoretical ...

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Cornell scientists have revealed a new phase of matter in candidate topological superconductors that could have significant consequences for condensed matter physics and for the field ...

Over the past few decades, some physicists worldwide have been investigating unusual particle-like magnetic structures known ...

Now, researchers at Princeton have demonstrated a strange quantum state taking place in a material at room temperature. A topological insulator is a material with a structure that conducts electrons ...
