Story summary

Pan Jianwei, a professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, and his team developed a 'quantum Lego block' that stays stable when shaken.
Their Science paper details a simulated state of matter with quantum effects secured in corners, protected by topological laws.
The work is the first experimental realization of non-equilibrium higher-order topological phases.
The research could enhance quantum information storage and address challenges in quantum computing.
