video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
David Thouless, Duncan Haldane, and Michael Kosterlitz won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2016 for discovering that even microscopic matter at the smallest scale can exhibit macroscopic properties and phases that are topological. But what does that mean? Fan Zhang helps decode some seriously tricky science. Lesson by Fan Zhang, directed by Anton Trofimov

Think of it this way. It can allow for stronger processing in computers because in topology, no matter how much you change the shape of the electrical waves around it, it stays working. Topology focuses less on holes than the gaps around a place. If there were gaps in the ground at a race, of course itd be harder to end up at the finish line than if everything in the race is smooth. Hence greater efficiency.

another great example showing even seemingly useless scientific endeavors can and will lead to major breakthroughs a long the way in the same or other fields. this very thought encourages me to bend the mind and ask everything.

Idk why but this reminds me of Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titilandus which is Latin and the Hogwarts motto which is Never Tickle A Sleeping Dragon Im pretty sure I know a few words in Latin but its all thanks to google translate

I have a comment on this video is that the motion of electron in presence of a high magnetic field in the 2D system is an example of quantum hall effect, not the Topological Insulator.

Some of this is false. Quantum superposition is when 2 subatomic particles are not 2 places at the same time but a combination of all probabilities of where it could be.

Nice video. However, I felt that too much importance was given to the three noble laureates. Many other scientists too made contributions to this field.
