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 ...

Researchers demonstrate that the phenomenon of the dynamic coupling of thermally activated skyrmions to chiral flowers can pave the way for a topological sorting device. In nature, the collective ...

A new materials database reveals more than 90,000 known 'topological' materials with persistent electronic properties. What will it take to make our electronics smarter, faster, and more resilient?

(Phys.org)—Physicists have experimentally demonstrated an optical system based on an unconventional class of quantum mechanical systems that could lead to the development of new quantum optical ...

Chiral skyrmions are a special type of spin textures in magnetic materials with asymmetric exchange interactions. They can be treated as quasi-particles and carry integer topological charges.
