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,…
Fermilab-NU scientist Anna Grassellino named “Woman of the Year” by Italy’s D La Repubblica
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!

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…
