The combination of meta-optics and topological photonics promises future terahertz topological on-chip photonic networks for next-generation wireless communications and quantum computing....

The laws of quantum physics rule the microcosm. They determine, for example, how easily electrons move through a crystal and thus whether the material is a metal, a semiconductor or...

Ever since a new class of ­materials called topological insulators was first created—a discovery that helped win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2016—researchers have been intrigued by the possibilities for electronics applications such...

NIST team probes indestructible quantum states that may aid quantum computing They may not be impervious to bullets like Superman, but groups of electrons that gather along the edges of...

The ICN2 co-leads a roadmap on quantum materials Key points… +  The term “quantum materials” was introduced to highlight the exotic properties of unconventional superconductors, heavy-fermion systems (materials with unusual...

There’s a Lot to Topological Materials and the Application to Quantum Computing Randomized measurements reveal topological quantum states Key points… +  Topological materials – materials that have surface properties very...
