Can insights from topology—the study of the properties of 3D objects that persist when an object is stretched or compressed—be applied in the field of quantum information processing? Juan Lin, Shou-Bang Yang, Fan Wu, and Zhen-Biao Yang, researchers at Fuzhou University, China, believe so.

Accordingly, they studied changes in the first Chern number, a topological invariant, in connection with a Kerr nonlinear oscillator. Their research was published August 5 in Intelligent Computing in an article titled "Topological Transitions in a Kerr Nonlinear Oscillator."
