Revealing Spin Structures with Neutron Beams - Quantum Today

Explore the fascinating world of quantum spin and its impact on material structures in this 26-minute Quantum Today video from the Institute for Quantum Computing. Dive into the concept of magnetic skyrmions, topologically stable vortex-like formations created by interacting spins in materials. Learn how IQC researchers have discovered new ways to rearrange skyrmions by exploiting crystal disorder, potentially affecting their topological stability. Join IQC PhD student Melissa Henderson and Dr. John Donohue as they discuss recent findings that reveal exciting phenomena in disordered materials using neutron beams. Gain insights into the fundamental properties of matter and the cutting-edge research being conducted at the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing.
