Sentences with phrase «topological quantum phases»

Classification of topological quantum phases has brought about a fundamental notion of SPT phases, which are exotic states under the protection of symmetries, and greatly expand our understanding of the fundamental nature of quantum matter.

Symmetry plays a fundamental role in understanding complex quantum matter, particularly in classifying topological quantum phases, which have attracted great interests in the recent decade.

«Our research shows for the first time that classical systems such as artificial spin ice can be designed to demonstrate topological ordered phases, which previously have been found only in quantum conditions,» said Los Alamos National Laboratory physicist Cristiano Nisoli, leader of the theoretical group that collaborated with an experimental group at the University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign, led by Peter Schiffer (now at Yale University).

Ongoing projects include study of exotic topological phases in the fractional quantum Hall regime, development and study of novel semiconductor / superconductor hybrid structures to host Majorana fermions, and development of devices for spin - based quantum bits (qubits).
