Forty years of the quantum Hall effect
It’s been 40 years since physicist Klaus von Klitzing discovered the quantum Hall effect. It triggered a wave of ideas in condensed-matter physics and beyond, and set in motion the realization of our international system of units based on fundamental constants. von Klitzing and other physicists look back at the transformative experiment and explore how it continues to yield fresh insights and energize transdisciplinary collaborations.
Mathematicians and physicists worked together to understand the quantum Hall effect, notes an accompanying editorial in Nature. How they achieved this holds lessons for the way in which disciplines — not only those in the physical sciences — could more successfully engage with each other on common problems, argues the editorial.
