Figure 1 (IMAGE) Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Caption Fig. 1: Schematic picture of the experimental setup showing a Chern insulator (purple) with attached electrodes (gold) and a SQUID magnetometer (shown as a loop on top of the insulator), which allows one to measure magnetic fields generated by the currents, and reconstruct the local current distribution in the system.
