In topological quantum materials, quantum effects emerge at
macroscopic scales and are robust to continuous changes in a
material's state. This striking synergy between quantum and
topological properties is of great interest for both fundamental
research and emerging technologies, especially in the fields of
electronics and quantum information. This edition of the book
presents a wealth of topological quantum materials, bringing
together burgeoning research from different areas: topological
insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, Weyl semimetals, and
unconventional and topological superconductors. The realization of
the application potential of topological quantum materials requires
understanding their properties at a fundamental level. This brings
us back to the discovery of topological phases of matter, which
earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2016. This book explores the
connection between pioneering work on topological phases of matter
and a flurry of activity that followed. The topics covered include
the quantum anomalous and spin Hall effects, emergent axion
electrodynamics and topological magnetoelectric effects, Weyl nodes
and surface Fermi arcs, weak antilocalization, induced triplet
superconductivity, Majorana fermion modes, and the fractional
Josephson effect.
