Over the past few years, researchers have developed various quantum technologies, alternatives to classical devices that ...

Scanning-tunnelling microscope with a superconducting tip could help uncover materials for next-generation quantum computers ...

As a consequence, one can use them to define topological invariants of 3- and 4-manifolds. Together, these invariants give rise to a variant of a TQFT (topological quantum field theory).

Researchers have experimentally demonstrated a quantum tornado. Electrons form vortices in the momentum space of the quantum semi-metal tantalum arsenide.

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 ...

We analyze the significance of supersymmetry in two topological models and the standard model (SM). We conclude that the two topological field theory models favor hidden supersymmetry. The SM ...

We formulate theory-independent notions of fields over causal orders in a compositional, functorial way. We draw a strong connection to Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (AQFT), using a sheaf-theoretical ...

By treating Earth as a topological insulator—a state of quantum matter—physicists found a powerful explanation for the twisting movements of the planet’s air and seas ...
