Illuminating an asymmetric gap in a topological antiferromagnet
Topological insulators (TIs) are among the hottest topics in condensed matter physics today. They’re a bit strange: Their surfaces conduct electricity, yet their interiors do not, instead acting as insulators. Physicists consider TIs the materials of the future because they host fascinating new quantum phases of matter and have promising technological applications in electronics and
Scientists succeed in trapping molecules to perform quantum operations for the first time
Molecules haven’t been used in quantum computing, even though they have the potential to make the ultra-high-speed experimental technology even faster. Their rich internal structures were seen as too complicated, too delicate, too unpredictable to manage, so smaller particles have been used.Quantum Physics NewsRead More
