Quantum Field Theory for Topological Materials
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
This paper investigates the application of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) to the study of topological materials, aiming to provide a framework for predicting emergent properties and stability based on non-linear quantum effects. We formalize the concept of topology to quantum systems, enabling the prediction of material behavior driven by quantum field dynamics. The core claim is that a QFT approach will significantly enhance our understanding and design of topological materials, offering a novel means of predicting and controlling their characteristics. This research explores the potential for utilizing QFT to uncover the underlying mechanisms governing topological phenomena, moving beyond traditional material modeling approaches.
