But in addition to uses in traditional computing, Xiao said quantum computing could benefit from magnetic monopoles in the charge ice.

OIST's physicist studies magnetic monopoles in spin ice crystals and explains why double layers of magnetic charges can be found

Los Alamos National Laboratory staff scientist Cristiano Nisoli explained, «The emergence of magnetic monopoles in spin ice systems is a particular case of what physicists call fractionalization, or deconfinement of quasi-particles that together are seen as comprising the fundamental unit of the system, in this case the north and south poles of a nanomagnet.

Dr Ludovic Jaubert, group leader in the Professor Nic Shannon's Theory of Quantum Matter Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) together with Prof Roderich Moessner from the Max Planck Institute in Dresden gave a theoretical explanation for the observation of double - layer structure of magnetic monopoles in spin ices.

Not exact matches

The existence of hypothetical particles called magnetic monopoles would explain why electric charge comes in integer multiples of the charge of an electron instead of a continuous range of values, Emily Conover reported in «Magnets with a single pole are still giving physicists the slip» (SN: 2/3/18, p. 10).

But physicists often carry out their calculations in terms of momentum space (also called reciprocal space) rather than ordinary three - dimensional space, Lu explains, and in that framework magnetic monopoles can exist — and their properties match those of Weyl points.

The magnetic strings in the spin ice do not fit the Dirac definition, Kimball feels, because they are, in fact, observable and merely carry flux between two opposing so - called monopoles.
