Topological order represents a fundamentally different paradigm of organising matter, one where long‐range entanglement and ground‐state degeneracy are determined by the global properties of the ...

Some phases of matter cannot be described using the conventional framework of symmetry breaking and exhibit a so-called quantum order. One type of quantum order, known as topological order, is ...

Just like a book can't be judged by its cover, a material can't always be judged by its surface. But, for an elusive conjectured class of materials, physicists have now shown that the surface ...

Topological superconductors are materials that, beyond simply exhibiting superconductivity, possess a topological order. This order refers to the global properties of the material's wavefunctions that ...

FIG.1. (a) Schematic representation of the third generation of the Sierpinski gasket waveguide arrays with r=0.3a, 0.5a, 0.6a. Blue and orange sectors of these arrays represent the first and ...

One of the biggest headaches in quantum computing is errors. Qubits are super fragile, and any little disturbance from the ...

Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is a highly promising large-area, high-throughput manufacturing technique that transfers ...

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong studying the structure of electrons in 2D materials have predicted new types of phase transitions that have yet to be seen in experiments Illustration of ...
