And it's what's called a topological invariant.

也是一种拓扑不变量。

A topological insulator acts like both at the same time, which we used to think was impossible!

一个拓扑绝缘体就像两个同时起作用，而这在过去被我们认为是不可能的。

All right, let's begin. Show of hands, who here is familiar with the concept of topological insulators?

好吧 开始上课 请举手告诉我 在座的哪位对拓扑绝缘体的概念比较熟悉？

Turns out, quantum vortices also involved in an entirely new topological phase transition discovered by these two physicists!

事实证明，这两位物理学家发现的一个全新的拓扑相变中也涉及到了量子涡旋！

The topological properties of subatomic particles could also transform quantum computing.

亚原子粒子的拓扑特性也可以改变量子计算。

But in some exotic topological phases, the subatomic particles can become protected.

但在一些奇异的拓扑相中，亚原子粒子可以受到保护。

Now you don't have to worry about what a topological qubit is.

现在您不必担心什么是拓扑量子位。

What's really weird--One really weird finding about these lobes is that they include topological maps.

真正奇怪的是——关于这些波瓣的一个非常奇怪的发现是它们包含拓扑图。

We're taking a very different approach to our qubit, which is based on this topological qubit.

我们对我们的量子比特采取了一种非常不同的方法， 它基于这个拓扑量子比特。

These topological qubits would be more stable, leading to more accurate computation and a better quantum computer.

这些拓扑量子位会更稳定，从而导致更准确的计算和更好的量子计算机。
