Topology in general but also topological objects such as monopoles are a central concept in physics. They are prime examples for the intriguing physics of gauge theories and topological states of matter. Vector monopoles are already…
Monopoles are intriguing topological objects, which play a central role in gauge theories and topological states of matter. While conventional monopoles are found in odd-dimensional flat spaces, such as the Dirac monopole in three…
Quantum anomalies offer a useful guide for the exploration of transport phenomena in topological semimetals. In this work, we introduce a model describing a semimetal in four spatial dimensions, whose nodal points act like tensor monopoles…
We present the successful realization of four-dimensional (4D) semimetal bands featuring tensor monopoles, achieved using superconducting quantum circuits. Our experiment involves the creation of a highly tunable diamond energy diagram with…
We report the theoretical prediction and experimental observation of a new class of four-dimensional (4D) tensor singularities and their three-dimensional (3D) Euler-class descendants, protected by chiral and spacetime inversion symmetries…
Gauge field theory provides the mathematical and conceptual framework to describe and understand topological singularities such as Weyl points and magnetic monopoles. While singularities associated with vector electromagnetic gauge fields…
We show that momentum-space tensor monopoles corresponding to nontrivial vector bundle generalizations, known as bundle gerbes, can be realized in bands of three-dimensional topological matter with nontrivial Hopf invariants. We provide a…
The three-dimensional topological insulator (originally called "topological insulators") is the first example in nature of a topologically ordered electronic phase existing in three dimensions that cannot be reduced to multiple copies of…
The topological order of a (2+1)D topological phase of matter is characterized by its chiral central charge and a unitary modular tensor category that describes the universal fusion and braiding properties of its anyonic quasiparticles. I…
Experimental demonstrations of tunable correlation effects in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene have put two-dimensional moir\'e quantum materials at the forefront of condensed-matter research. Other twisted few-layer graphitic…
Higher-dimensional Hilbert spaces in quantum simulation, as in all quantum science, expand the range of accessible phenomena. In this work, we experimentally realize a synthetic monopole using an ultracold spin-1 ensemble, where the…
The detection of topological phases of matter becomes a central issue in recent years. Conventionally, the realization of a specific topological phase in condensed matter physics relies on probing the underlying surface band dispersion or…
Generalized Dirac monopoles in momentum space are constructed in even d+1 dimensions from the Weyl Hamiltonian in terms of Green's functions. In 3+1 spacetime dimensions, the (unit) charge of the monopole is equal to both the winding number…
It is shown that the creation of a monopole is a gauge invariant statement, based on topology. Creating a monopole is independent on the abelian projection in which it is created. This is fundamental in defining an order parameter for…
Unified theories of strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions which have electric charge quantization predict the existence of topologically stable magnetic monopoles. Intermediate scale monopoles are comparable with detection energies…
Weyl semimetals are phases of matter with gapless electronic excitations that are protected by topology and symmetry. Their properties depend on the dimensions of the systems. It has been theoretically demonstrated that five-dimensional…
There are three types of monopole in gauge theories with fundamental matter and N=2 supersymmetry broken by a superpotential. There are unconfined 0-monopoles and also 1 and 2-monopoles confined respectively by one or two vortices…
Creation and control of topological complex excitations play crucial roles in both fundamental physics and modern information science. Torons are a sophisticated class of 3D chiral polar topological structures with both skyrmionic…
Contrary to the electric charge that generates the electric field, magnetic charge (namely magnetic monopoles) does not exist in the elementary electromagnetism. Consequently, magnetic flux lines only form loops and cannot have a source or…
Topology played an important role in physics research during the last few decades. In particular, the quantum geometric tensor that provides local information about topological properties has attracted much attention. It will reveal…
