Sketching Temporary Circuits with a Light-Triggered Floquet Topological Insulator

In semiconductor technology, a base material like silicon is permanently modified to induce certain electrical behavior. In comparison a topological insulator material could be used to create temporary circuits using something like light exposure. An example of this is the Floquet topological state, which has long been theorized, but is now claimed to have been demonstrated in SnTe semiconductor material, per a paper by [F.
