IQM

A large class of topological insulators (TIs) is characterized by the presence of a quantized magneto-electric (ME) "axion" coupling. We have developed a detailed theory connecting this axion coupling to features of the hybrid Wannier (HW) representation, which has emerged as one of the most important theoretical tools for understanding TIs... The Institute for Quantum Matter is an Energy Frontier Research Center that is realizing revolutionary quantum materials and structures where quantum effects such as entanglement and coherence find collective macroscopic manifestations. We expose, understand, and control the corresponding physical properties and explore their potential for energy-related applications.
