This initiative is in turn driven by my frustration with the status quo, namely the notion of dark matter’s existence despite ...

Gravity can exist without mass.” It’s a statement that upends a century of astrophysical dogma and, for some, sounds as ...

Observation of the topological soliton state in the Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model. Nature Communications , 2016; 7: 13986 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms13986 Cite This Page : ...

A similar idea underpins topological insulators, but the transformation in this case doesn’t involve a material’s spatial properties. Instead, it concerns the wavefunctions of the electrons flowing in ...

The topological measures -- so-called "characteristic path lengths" and "connectivity loss" between nodes -- came up with dramatically different and less accurate results than a model that ...

All the latest science news on topological model from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

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 ...

Topological or not topological. While it’s not possible to measure the topology of wavefunctions directly, it is generally possible to detect whether a material supports certain surface states. This ...

In 2005, condensed matter physicists Charles Kane and Eugene Mele considered the fate of graphene at low temperatures. Their work ("Quantum Spin Hall Effect in Graphene") would usher in a new era of ...
