Where did Horst L. Störmer work when he shared the Nobel with Laughlin?
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Columbia University
California Institute of Technology
University of Chicago
Answer
At Columbia University, Horst L. Störmer made discoveries concerning a new type of quantum fluid with fractionally charged excitations. This phenomenon, known as the fractional quantum Hall effect, occurs in a two-dimensional electron system under strong magnetic fields at very low temperatures and displays remarkable properties with potential applications in precision measurements and quantum computing.
