An international team led by Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers has merged two lab-synthesized materials into a synthetic quantum structure once thought impossible to exist and produced an exotic structure expected to provide insights that could lead to new materials at the core of quantum computing.
Monopoles still don’t exist. This is a quasi particle. It’s a bunch of atoms structured so it acts like a theoretical monopole would look like.
Given that the magnetic field is the electric field distorted by viewing from a moving reference frame, I don’t understand how a quantum monopole particle is physically possible. It seems analogous to looking for a quantum particle responsible for the centrifugal force.
