NEWS RELEASE
When D turns to F, quantum matter is A-plus
Rice physicists have shown that immutable topological states, which are highly sought for quantum computing, can be entangled with other, manipulable quantum states in some materials. "The surprising thing we found is that in a particular kind of crystal lattice, where electrons become stuck, the strongly coupled behavior of electrons in d atomic orbitals actually act like the f orbital systems of some heavy fermions," said Qimiao Si, co-author of a study about the research in Science Advances.
