In topological quantum materials, quantum effects emerge at macroscopic scales and are robust to continuous changes in a material’s state. This striking synergy between quantum and topological properties is of great interest for both fundamental research and emerging technologies, especially in the fields of electronics and quantum information. This edition of the book presents a wealth of... Read more

Biography

Grigory Tkachov is a professor of theoretical physics at Augsburg University, Germany. He did his PhD at the Lifshitz Theoretical Physics Department of Kharkiv National University, Ukraine, and completed a habilitation in theoretical physics at Wuerzburg University, Germany. He has more than two decades of research experience at European academic institutions, including Lancaster University, Regensburg University, and the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems. Dr. Tkachov’s research interests include topological phases of matter, non-equilibrium quantum many-body theory, superconductivity, and electromagnetism of solids.
