Edge States in Topological Superconductors: Dancing with Majorana Zero Modes

Topological superconductivity has opened a new field of quantum matter where exotic particles arise from electron group behavior. Through their special safety mechanisms, my investigations of topological edge states have shown how these systems can transform quantum computing. Majorana zero modes observed at topological superconductors’ margins constitute a quantum physics revolution. Unprecedentedly precise techniques for ...
Read MoreGhost Imaging with Neutrinos: Seeing the Invisible Through Quantum Correlations

Ghost imaging methods used to neutrino detection offer a fresh method of particle physics observation. Working on quantum imaging systems, I have investigated how ghost imaging can change our capacity to find and investigate these elusive particles. This method uses quantum correlations to picture objects utilizing particles never to have directly interacted with the target. ...
Read MoreIn Search of the Elusive Magnetic Monopoles

Theoretically, magnetic monopoles are particles with only one magnetic pole—north or south—that, should be found, would transform physics. The search for these particles—which have been proposed but never definitively seen—is investigated in this article. My discussion with a physicist building the Large Hadron Collider helped me to understand the thrill and uncertainty surrounding this pursuit. ...
Read MoreQuantum Entanglement: The Spooky Action Explained

Albert Einstein famously termed spooky action at a distance, quantum entanglement is the phenomena whereby particles are instantaneously linked over great distances. This paper questions our knowledge of physics by investigating the enigmatic realm in which entangled particles can possibly interact faster than light. I became fascinated with how this could transform sectors from cryptography ...
Read MoreUnraveling the Mysteries of Dark Matter

Look at one of the toughest riddles in the universe: dark matter. This page clarifies our knowledge, our search for information, and how it could affect our perspective of the universe. What is Dark Matter? Imagine a great, cosmic ocean bursting with galaxies, stars, and planets. What if, however, we could only view a small ...
