Physicists have engineered light to drift sideways in discrete, quantized steps inside a fiber-optic loop, reproducing a signature behavior of the quantum Hall effect without electrons, magnetic ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, producing a quantized sideways drift that had never been observed in photons before. The experiment, carried out on ...

The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) is one of the most important phenomena in condensed matter physics, holding significant promise in low-energy-dissipation electronics that could possibly ...

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In their experiment, photons drift sideways in perfectly defined, quantized steps ...

The fractional quantum Hall effect is one of the most striking manifestations of strong electronic correlations and topology, traditionally requiring intense magnetic fields. Recently, experiments ...
