Topological order represents a fundamentally different paradigm of organising matter, one where long‐range entanglement and ground‐state degeneracy are determined by the global properties of the ...

Topological magnetoelectric effect (TME), for example, the topological response of magnetization to an electric field in the same direction, is a hallmark phenomenon of axion insulator from the ...

John McGreevy is Professor of Physics at the University of California, San Diego. He is a theoretical physicist with interests in quantum matter, string theory, and ...

Knots and links, with their unique and robust topological structures, play a vital role across various disciplines, including physics, life sciences, and light–matter interactions. As a representative ...

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, ...

Classical field theory is a research area in theoretical physics that studies continuous fields, such as electromagnetic, gravitational, and scalar fields, within a pre-quantum, typically relativistic ...
