CAPST researchers Wave Ngampruetikorn and James Sauls published new theoretical predictions of a Zero-Field Thermal Hall Effect as a signature of a broken P and T ground state in Topological Superconductors
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…
Broken time-reversal symmetry in the topological superconductor UPt3
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…
New Quantum Phases of Matter Confined in Quantized Vortices
Classical liquids achieve co-rotation in a rotating container through the force of the walls on the fluid and viscous forces in the fluid. Quantum liquids, like Helium, are fundamentally different. They obey the laws of quantum mechanics in aggregate, with…
From Qubits to Climate Change: Northwestern Quantum Experts See Powerful Potential
University’s quantum science strengths harness multidisciplinary talent. Imagine there are 20 playing cards laying side-by-side and face down on a table in front of you. You know that one of them is the queen of hearts, but you don’t know…
