Why the Hall conductance is quantized was an open problem in condensed matter theory for much of the past 40 years. Spyridon Michalakis who worked on the solution — published in 2015 — gives a personal take on how the field evolved.

为什么霍尔电导被量化？

在过去40年的大部分时间里，为何对霍尔电导进行量化是凝聚态理论中的一个悬而未决的问题。致力于该解决方案的Spyridon Michalakis（于2015年出版）对该领域的发展方式做了个人看法。在过去40年的大部分时间里，为何对霍尔电导进行量化是凝聚态理论中的一个悬而未决的问题。致力于该解决方案的Spyridon Michalakis（于2015年发布）对该领域的发展方式做了个人看法。
