I study strange electronic quantum states of matter, so they’re probably not ones you’ve heard of yet! There are hundreds of these quantum states of matter – strange things like superfluids, superconductors, Bose-Einstein condensates and spiral magnets. Most researchers in my field will discover a lot more than four during their careers! The ones I’ve worked on are called ‘glasses’, but they’re not like normal window glass – they’re actually really cool types of magnets with named like the helical glass and the Bose glass!
