Quantum magnetic monopole condensate
Magnetic monopoles are predicted by grand unified theories but remain elusive as elementary particles. Here, extending electric-magnetic symmetry onto full quantum behavior, the authors demonstrate that magnetic monopoles emerge as excitations in condensed matter systems, where they can form a quant...

| description | Magnetic monopoles are predicted by grand unified theories but remain elusive as elementary particles. Here, extending electric-magnetic symmetry onto full quantum behavior, the authors demonstrate that magnetic monopoles emerge as excitations in condensed matter systems, where they can form a quantum Bose condensate manifesting as a superinsulating state dual to superconductivity, made of charge Cooper pair condensate. |
