Information transfer in topological matter: how relativity speeds up memory

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

In the 21st century our economy and security rely on fast information processing, which requires state-of-the-art computer memory. Emerging memory technologies rely on magnets, which retain data during power outages and switch faster than currently used semiconductor devices. This Fellowship will establish a breakthrough paradigm for ultra-fast information processing using magnets and newly-discovered topological materials. It will develop a computational tool to enhance the switching rate of devices incorporating topological materials that emulate industry blueprints for memory building blocks. If successful, it will vastly improve the speed and functionality of computer memory, logic elements, artificial intelligence devices and sensors.
