Losing Hermiticity, Obtaining Majorana: When Symmetry Meets Non-Hermiticity in Topological Superconductivity

2026-02-17

Symmetry and topology are known to reshape electronic systems and give rise to diverse quantum states and phenomena. Extending these concepts to the non-Hermitian regime, Dr. Chen-Hsuan Hsu’s team at the Institute of Physics has developed a topological superconducting m......

Assistant Research Fellow Ryota Sakamoto has been honored with the "2026 Young Scientist Award" from the Physical Society of Japan. This award recognizes his significant contributions to uncovering the physical principles of symmetry breaking and energy conversion in ac......

Supernova Gravitational Waves as a Probe of Physics Beyond the Standard Model

2026-01-20

After the core-collapse of a massive star, neutrino densities inside the newly formed neutron star become extremely high. These conditions may allow neutrino self-interactions beyond the Standard Model to trigger flavor conversions. An international collaboration led by......

Novel localization phenomena and self-similarity in non-Hermitian quasiperiodic systems

2025-12-31

Quasiperiodicity is known to induce localization and self-similarity in physical systems; however, previous research has predominantly focused on Hermitian systems. Extending this paradigm to the non-Hermitian regime, Dr. Chen-Hsuan Hsu’s team at the Institute of Physic......

Quasi-elastic scattering and spin-phonon coupling in Se-substituted NiPS3

2025-12-05

Dr. Raman Sankar (Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica his group investigate the Quasi-elastic scattering (QES) serves as a sensitive probe of slow spin fluctuations in low-dimensional magnetic systems, multiferroics, and frustrated quantum magnets. Here, we investigat......

Topological Surface Superconductivity via Josephson Coupling in Bi2Te3/Nb films

2025-11-26

Josephson junctions incorporating superconducting topological surface states (TSS) emerge as promising building blocks for next-generation superconducting qubits, offering a potential pathway towards improved coherence for quantum computing. However, in most experiments......
