Quantum Breakthrough: First-Ever Achievement of a Laughlin State

Credit: Unsplash.The discovery of quantum Hall effects in the 1980s revealed the existence of new forms of matter known as "Laughlin states," named after the American Nobel laureate who successfully characterized them theoretically.These great states manifest uniquely in two-dimensional materials under extremely cold conditions and intense magnetic fields. In a Laughlin state, electrons form an unusual...
