Volume Haptics with Topology-Consistent Isosurfaces

Haptic interfaces offer an intuitive way to interact with and manipulate 3D datasets, and may simplify the interpretation of visual information. This work proposes an algorithm to provide haptic feedback directly from volumetric datasets, as an aid to regular visualization.

Symmetry-protected topological phases at finite temperature

We have applied the recently developed theory of topological Uhlmann numbers to a representative model of a topological insulator in two dimensions, the Qi–Wu–Zhang model. We have found a stable symmetry-protected topological phase under external thermal fluctuations in two dimensions.
