Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have successfully simulated higher-order topological (HOT) lattices with unprecedented accuracy using digital quantum computers. These ...

Topological order represents a fundamentally different paradigm of organising matter, one where long‐range entanglement and ground‐state degeneracy are determined by the global properties of the ...

FIG.1. (a) Schematic representation of the third generation of the Sierpinski gasket waveguide arrays with r=0.3a, 0.5a, 0.6a. Blue and orange sectors of these arrays represent the first and ...

Just like a book can't be judged by its cover, a material can't always be judged by its surface. But, for an elusive conjectured class of materials, physicists have now shown that the surface ...

Topological superconductors are materials that, beyond simply exhibiting superconductivity, possess a topological order. This order refers to the global properties of the material's wavefunctions that ...

With a new mathematical model, a team of biophysicists has revealed fresh insights into how biological tissues are shaped by the active motion of structural imperfections known as "topological defects ...

Artistic illustration of a topological exciton insulator: Excitons condense in the bulk of the material, forming a collective insulating phase, while topologically protected edge modes propagate ...
