Topological insulators (TIs) are a class of materials with surfaces that host a new quantum state of matter and are insensitive to contaminants, defects and impurities. Surface electrons in TIs behave ...

A counterexample is the two-dimensional integer quantum Hall state ... is in the trivial topological class. This guarantees the existence of gapless states on the surface (or edge) of a non ...

Kennesaw State University researchers Chetan Dhital and Madalynn Marshall have received a three-year, $799,934 grant from the ...

Topological insulators are materials that are insulating in their interior but can support the flow of electrons on their surface. The underlying cause is time-reversal symmetry: their physics is ...

Our research group fabricates and studies colloidal particles with different numbers of handles and genus g. When introduced into a nematic liquid crystal, these particles induce three-dimensional ...

Majorana qubits could be error resistant. But after a contentious talk at the Global Physics Summit, scientists aren’t convinced Microsoft has them.

"We have created a new state of matter called a topological superconductor," Nayak ... states of many interacting particles at the surface of a material, in this case a superconducting nanowire.
