Luttinger’s theorem at the core of topological matter
Luttinger’s theorem relates a Fermi liquid’s particle density to the volume of its Fermi surface. Credit: Wikimedia Commons, Public Domain In 1960, Joaquin Luttinger introduced a universal statement that relates…
A novel microscope operates on the quantum state of single electrons
