FAQ

Q: What is a topological phase transition?
A: A topological phase transition is a type of phase transition that occurs in certain materials when there is a change in their topological properties.

Q: What is a topological phase of matter?
A: A topological phase of matter refers to a specific state of matter that exhibits distinct topological properties.

Q: What are the implications of topological phases of matter?
A: Topological phases of matter have unique electronic and physical properties, and can potentially be used in future technologies such as quantum computing.

Q: Who awarded the research on topological phase transitions and phases of matter?
A: The research on topological phase transitions and phases of matter was awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
