Joel E. Moore is in the Department of Physics, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, California 94720, USA, and at the Materials Sciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, ...

Coherence in quantum dynamics is at the heart of fascinating phenomena beyond the realm of classical physics, such as quantum interference effects, entanglement production and geometric phases.

Diffusion of waves is a natural result in propagation, like sound, water, and light, while the localization of waves is an unconventional phenomenon in periodic media. It has been an important ...

Topological materials are a class of materials that exhibit unique electronic properties at their boundary (surface in 3D materials; edge in 2D materials) that are robust against imperfections or ...

Physicists have achieved a breakthrough by using a 58-qubit quantum computer to create and observe a long-theorized but never ...

Researchers used a 58-qubit quantum processor to realize and probe a Floquet topological phase, revealing exotic ...

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 ...

Some phases of matter cannot be described using the conventional framework of symmetry breaking and exhibit a so-called quantum order. One type of quantum order, known as topological order, is ...

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 ...
