Fast Electrically Switchable Large Gap Quantum Spin Hall States
First-principles calculations by physicists from IF PAN and collaborators indicate the presence of a wide energy gap and the possibility of rapid switching between quantum spin Hall states in a recently discovered family of two-dimensional materials.

Universality of Internal Correlations of Strongly Interacting p-Wave Fermions in One-Dimensional Geometry
The various properties of ultracold atomic gases significantly depend on the shape of the trap in which they are contained. However, it turns out that the quantum correlations between their subsystems can be completely independent of this. Such is...

Quantized Spin Pumping in Topological Ferromagnetic-Superconducting Nanowires
In an article published in Physical Review Letters researchers from MagTop IF PAN predict that the precession of the magnetization leads to robust quantized spin pumping in topologically nontrivial nanowires supporting Majorana zero modes.

Turbulent motion of flowing light
The turbulent motion of fluids is probably the most complicated problem in Physics, but also one of the most important. Indeed, even today it is extremely difficult to make predictions about the turbulent dynamics of fluids. Yet turbulence is fund...

Charge dopants control quantum spin Hall materials
Unlike in the quantum Hall effect and quantum anomalous Hall effect, the quantization precision in the quantum spin Hall effect depends on unavoidable background impurities and defects. However, doping with magnetic ions restores the quantization ...
