Topological materials are a class of materials that exhibit unique electronic properties at their boundary (surface in 3D ...

Phase transitions in "conventional" materials – such as water turning into ice or a metal becoming magnetised – and topological phase transitions have long been treated as fundamentally distinct, ...

In a paper published in National Science Review, researchers report on the discovery of a novel octupole topological insulating phase, protected by a 3D momentum-space nonsymmorphic group, within ...

For topological quantum computing, Majorana particles — more specifically Majorana zero modes — are the tool of choice. Named for Italian physicist Ettore Majorana, who predicted them in 1937, these ...

A new technical paper titled “Topological Flat-Band-Driven Metallic Thermoelectricity” was published by researchers at TU Wien, Los Alamos National Lab, Flatiron Institute and others. Abstract ...

In a leap forward for quantum computing, a Microsoft team led by UC Santa Barbara physicists on Wednesday unveiled an eight-qubit topological quantum processor, the first of its kind. The chip, built ...
