Description

Chiral matter exhibits unique properties owing to the chiral anomaly. These properties can be observed by studying the propagation and radiation of fast-moving charged particles within the matter. We demonstrate how the chiral anomaly imparts distinctive characteristics on the particle energy loss and its radiation spectrum. Consequently, we argue that quantum tomography emerges as a potent and versatile tool for investigating the properties of chiral systems, spanning from Weyl semimetals to quark-gluon plasma.
