Qikun Xue
An experimental physicist known for work on quantum materials. His team’s observation of the quantum anomalous Hall effect connected topological ideas with measurable transport in magnetic thin films.
Quantum anomalous Hall effect · explained
research · explained
The quantum anomalous Hall effect is quantized transverse electrical transport associated with magnetism and topology, without a large external magnetic field. Its experimental observation in magnetic thin films is distinct from the ordinary Hall effect and from a finished commercial device.
