We observe, for the first time, topological edge states of light in a two-dimensional system and show their robustness against intrinsic and introduced disorder. Our experiment demonstrates the ...

Quantum Hall physics, inherently topological, has been seen in electronic devices and in dilute atomic ensembles. In the two-dimensional electron case, current flows along an edge/interface ...

Topological valley Hall edge solitons in photonics Date: October 25, 2021 Source: SPIE--International Society for Optics and Photonics Summary: A research team recently discovered a novel kind of ...

Topological ... of edge supercurrents but shows that they can be used to monitor the behavior of superconducting electrons in topological superconductors. More information: Stephan Kim et al ...

Physicists have observed a novel quantum effect termed "hybrid topology ... University of Alabama in Birmingham, Alabama. Both are co-first authors of the paper. "Once an edge is placed on ...

More importantly, they found that the topological edge states of bismuthene is also tunable as the periodically modulated interface interactions. According to the scientists, moiré superstructure ...

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 ...
