Spying on topology: an ultra-fast optical way to extract critical information from quantum materials

Scientists have demonstrated for the first time how to tell apart topological materials from their regular counterparts within a millionth of a billionth of a second by probing it with ultra-fast laser light. Their method could open the way for such materials to be used as logic elements in light-controlled electronics able to process information tens of thousands times faster as currently possible.
