Abelian categories and module theory are fundamental areas in mathematics that deal with the structure and properties of algebraic objects known as modules. Modules can be thought of as ...

Vishwanath's team used a powerful machine called a quantum processor to make, for the first time, a brand-new phase of matter called non-Abelian topological order. Previously recognized in theory ...

These particles are called non-Abelian anyons and have some very strange and fascinating properties. Non-Abelian anyons are not particles, but rather collective excitations of a special phase of ...
