It holds exceptional promise for quantum computing and tiny quantum devices as topological states can transport energy and information without overheating, unlike traditional quantum mechanics. "They have used advanced mathematical methods to study unusual phases, or states, of matter, such as superconductors, superfluids or thin magnetic films." The three physicists won the prize for revealing the secrets of exotic matter, the Nobel jury said. 4/10/2016 AFP News agency British scientists David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz won the Nobel Physics Prize on Tuesday (see here , here & here ). Nobel winners studied unusual states of matter (superconductors, superfluids, magnetic films) topological materials for new generations of electronics & quantum computers.
