Purdue physicists provide experimental proof of fundamental theory of topological quantum matter
For over 35 years physicists have tried to confirm a fundamental prediction of quantum condensed matter physics: one-dimensional electron liquids known as chiral Luttinger liquids circulate around the boundaries of fractional quantum Hall states, carrying exotic anyon particles with properties unlike any other known particles in nature. Now, researchers at Purdue University have observed this long-sought behavior, providing the critical piece of experimental proof for a landmark theory of topological quantum matter.
Quantum leap in 2D semiconductors: Purdue team unlocks room-temperature spin qubits in GeS₂
For decades, researchers have searched for materials that can host stable qubits, the building blocks of quantum computers, at room temperature. A team at Purdue University has now demonstrated just that in a two-dimensional semiconductor, opening a new frontier for quantum sensing and computing.
