CAPST researchers Drs. Robert Regan and James Sauls along with Dr. Joshua Wiman from Chalmers University report new theoretical findings on the stability of half-quantum vortices in the superfluid phases of 3He confined in highly anisotropic Nafen aerogel. See more…
CAPST co-director Dr. James Sauls appeared on an episode of the podcast “Scientific Sense” to talk with host Gill Eapen. The discussion is nearly an hour and ranges from superconducting RF cavities for particle accelerators, NU-Fermilab collaborations, quantum fluids, superfluidity,…
Grassellino was selected from a list of 50 Italian women who have excelled in their fields, and who left their mark on 2020. She heads Fermilab’s new quantum national center, the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center. Read more here!

Chiral superconductors exhibit novel transport properties that depend on the topology of the order parameter, topology of the Fermi surface, the spectrum of bulk and edge Fermionic excitations, and the structure of the impurity potential. In the case of electronic…
CAPST researchers in Physics, Keenan Avers, William Halperin, and James Sauls, in collaboration with the neutron scattering team led by Morten Eskildsen at Notre Dame, report the discovery of Broken time-reversal symmetry in the topological superconductor UPt3: Topological properties of…
