Skyrmion defect - Surface temperature distribution with skyrmions

In theoretical physics, a skyrmion is a model of topologically stable soliton vortices in fields. It behaves like a particle or quasiparticle with finite mass. The University of Duisburg-Essen has now produced a description of how to use quasiparticles to determine parameter distribution in a sample – specifically, how to use skyrmions to determine temperature distribution across a sample surface.  An apparatus and measuring method for completing optimization tasks consists of an initial layer into which skyrmions are introduced and in which they can move. Another level/apparatus allows physical parameters such as temperature, lighting, and electric potential in the first level to be set in a targeted manner. There is an apparatus for reading out skyrmion distribution in that level, and this distribution provides a solution to the optimization problem. Another version allows impurities to be introduced to the first level. These impurities affect skyrmion movement and probability density (static case). The method can be used to determine quasiparticle movement (dynamic determination).
