Multiple superconductivity wad found in the novel spin-triplet superconductor UTe₂, which is called “Silicon of Quantum Computers”. A complicated spin-triplet state is realized as a consequence of spin degree of freedom. This result will lead to a new state of topological superconductivity.

In quantum liquids, large differences are observed owing to differences in quantum statistics. The physical properties of liquid ³He (Fermion) and ⁴He (Boson) are considerably different at low temperatures. After the discovery of superconductivity in electron (i.e., Fermion) systems, a similar pairing ordered state was expected for ³He. Remarkably, the observed ordered state of ³He was more surprising than expected, multiple superfluid phases in the T–P phase diagram. The origin of the multiple phases was attributed to ferromagnetic interactions in the p-wave symmetry state.
