Non-local quantum superpositions of topological defects

Creator:

Dziarmaga, Jacek, Zurek, Wojciech H., and Zwolak, Michael

Abstract:

Topological defects, such as monopoles, vortex lines or domain walls, mark locations where disparate choices of a broken-symmetry vacuum elsewhere in the system lead to irreconcilable differences(1,2). They are energetically costly (the energy density in their core reaches that of the prior symmetric vacuum) but topologically stable (the whole manifold...
