Study Deepens Understanding of Quantum Transport in Topological Materials
Insider Brief Researchers observed unusual quantum oscillations in the topological insulator ZrTe₅ that persist beyond the quantum limit under extreme magnetic fields and near-zero temperatures. The study attributes the behavior to reentrant Landau levels caused by the interplay of electron spin, orbital motion and strong spin-orbit coupling rather than many-body interactions. The findings suggest that […]
Scientists Propose More Realistic Benchmarks For Quantum Algorithms
