Simulation of chiral edge states in a quantum system

Friday, September 25, 2015 - 15:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers in Florence and Innsbruck have simulated a physical phenomenon in an atomic quantum gas that can also be observed at the edge of some condensed matter systems: chiral currents. The scientists have published the experiment, which will open new doors for the study of exotic states in condensed matter, in the journal Science.
