Creation Moment 5/31/2022 - Another Building Block of Creator's Putty: Weyl Loop

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

"As physicists dig deeper into the quantum realm, they are discovering an infinitesimally small world composed of a strange and surprising array of links, knots, and winding. 

--Some quantum materials exhibit magnetic whirls called skyrmions — unique configurations sometimes described as “subatomic hurricanes.” 

--Others host a form of superconductivity that twists into vortices.

Now, in an article published in the journal Nature, a Princeton-led team of scientists has discovered that electrons in quantum matter can link one another in strange new ways. “We’re studying properties related to the shape of the wave functions of electrons,” said Hasan. “And we have now taken the field to a new frontier.”

 

The essential building block of this new frontier is a quantum

mechanical structure known as a Weyl loop, which involves the winding of massless electron wave functions in a crystal... the case of Co₂MnGa turned out to be different from wave function winding considered in conventional topological theories. “Here instead we have linked loops — our newly discovered knotted topology is of a different nature and gives rise to different mathematical linking numbers,” said Tyler Cochran."
