Understanding the chiral symmetry
EXQUIRAL aims to elucidate the role of topology and electronic correlations in chiral quantum systems using a tunable chiral quantum matter simulator platform.
Symmetry is a fundamental idea in science. This principle has helped scientists discover the basic laws of the universe. However, sometimes the symmetry breaks, specially in in chiral systems. This surprising phenomenon, known as “chiral symmetry breaking“, has puzzled scientists in fields like physics, biology, chemistry, and materials science. consetetur.

Chiral symmetry also plays a crucial role in materials science. Certain materials can host particles with a specific type of symmetry, but this symmetry can be broken by external forces like electric and magnetic fields or by twisting the material. Controlling and promoting chiral ordering is still a major goal for scientists. But to achieve this, we need to better understand the underlying principles behind chiral symmetry breaking phenomena.
EXQIRAL aims to understand how the structure of chiral quantum systems influence their properties and the electrons behavior within them by controlling and studying them with a so called “chiral quantum matter simulator”.
Our approach involves using specially designed chiral 3D and chirally-twisted 2D materials with unique chiral properties that can be thought of as “giant chiral molecules”. By manipulating these materials, changing the level of chiral twisting and applying electromagnetic fields, we can induce, simulate and study chiral symmetry breaking phenomena.
