the quantum critical point of topological phase transitions provides a promising platform to test the intriguing predictions of quantum electrodynamics. Here we discover a class of quantum ...

In contrast, it leverages the 'variational principle' of quantum ... to the study of phase transitions occurring in high-temperature superconductors and exotic interacting topological phases ...

By state-of-the-art quantum mechanical simulations, they find that a two-dimensional transition-metal ditelluride, MoTe2, can realize a structural phase transition from the semiconducting phase to the ...

"What was a fine-tuned topological quantum phase transition in 2D has been 'reincarnated' as the generic surface state for a higher dimensional bulk," Foster said. "In 2018 study, my group ...

have observed a hidden quantum transition that can only be seen depending on how observers perform measurements. The study "Topological Transitions of the generalized Pancharatnam-Berry phase" was ...

Researchers have made a groundbreaking achievement by turning bosons into exotic one-dimensional anyons for the first time in ...

As well as opening the door to potential applications exploiting these topological phases – such as dissipationless electronics and fault-tolerant quantum computers ... The layered transition-metal ...

“We have created a new state of matter, called a topological superconductor,” Nayak explained. This phase of matter hosts exotic boundaries called Majorana zero modes (MZMs) that are useful for ...

The common phase transitions are those that occur ... FAPESP via the project "An investigation into topological and exotic quantum states under extreme conditions". "The starting point for these ...

At the quantum level, however, the particle spins in states that emerge from phase transitions display collective entangled behavior. This unexpected observation offers a new avenue for the production ...
