A team of physicists has uncovered a hidden topological structure within one of the most widely used sources of quantum entanglement.

When most people hear "polymer," they think of plastics. In our group, polymerization is a way to line up identical molecules like beads on a string and let quantum mechanics take over. Put magnetic ...

Researchers in Finland have experimentally realized a long-predicted class of quantum material: a two-dimensional topological ...

Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...

Momentum is building for quantum computing and some observers say that a usable, fault-tolerant quantum system could appear in the next few years. We have written ...

As part of the Quantum Science Center headquartered at ORNL, Robert Moore probes the interface between a topological insulator and a superconductor with spin- and angle-resolved photoemission ...

A study published in Nature Physics Jan. 14, co-led by Rice University’s Qimiao Si, brings together quantum criticality, where electrons fluctuate between different phases, and electronic topology, ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, producing a quantized sideways drift that had never been observed in photons before. The experiment, carried out on ...

When mobile charge carriers, also known as itinerant electrons, interact with the strong exchange magnetic fields associated ...

Researchers at Okayama University used high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction to detect tiny lattice distortions (about 100 parts per million) emerging as the topological superconductor Cu x ...
