These features are robust against local disturbances.<br /> <br /> Topological phases can give rise to special states at the boundaries of materials, which remain stable even in the presence of imperfections.<br /> <br /> == Properties ==<br /> <br /> * defined by global structure<br /> * robust against perturbations<br /> * not characterized by local order<br /> * linked to [[Physics:Quantum fields/symmetry|symmetry]]<br /> <br /> =See also=<br /> {{#invoke:PhysicsQC|tocHeadingAndList|Physics:Quantum basics/See also/Matter}}<br /> <br /> =References=<br /> {{reflist|3}}<br /> <br /> {{Author|Harold Foppele}}<br /> {{Sourceattribution|Physics:Quantum materials/topological phase|1}}</div>
