Microsoft team led by UC Santa Barbara physicists unveils first-of-its-kind topological qubit, paving the way for a more fault-tolerant quantum computer In a leap forward for quantum computing, a ...
Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...
Structured light is a new frontier in optics because it can be programmed across multiple degrees of freedom—amplitude, phase, spatial patterns, ...
On the left, the schematic illustration depicts the gluing rules of the Brillouin manifold, with a half-twist operation connecting the opposing faces. On the right, the BZ is divided into 64 blocks by ...
A team of physicists mathematically built an exotic object that they believe could look like a black hole to Earth-based observers but is actually a star. The star is a topological soliton: a smooth, ...
Topological insulators are strange stuff – the bulk of this material is insulating and cannot carry an electrical current, yet the surfaces of the same material are conducting. This means that charged ...

Scientists shape light in empty space using topology
Researchers from the University of East Anglia, working with partners in South Africa, have shown that light can twist and spin in empty space without mirrors, lenses, or special materials. By ...
