Author(s): Xiaoying Xu, Wei Qin, Yuelin Shen, Zixuan Huang, Zhuoya Zhou, Zirao Wang, and Yufan Li
Chiral superconductivity is a novel superconducting phase characterized by order parameters that break time-reversal symmetry, endowing the state with a definite handedness. Unlike conventional superconductors, the Cooper pairs in a chiral superconductor carry nonzero orbital angular momentum. Throu… [Phys. Rev. Lett. 137, 086002] Published Tue Aug 18, 2026
