More information: Controllable orbital angular momentum monopoles in chiral topological semimetals, Nature Physics (2024).

In this module we will introduce the course on the theory of angular momentum and then introduce the quantum mechanical definition of orbital momentum. We will then use the spherical harmonics to ...
