One dimensional anyons offer tunable quantum statistics



Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Feb 05, 2026
Physicists have traditionally divided all elementary particles in three dimensional space into just two categories, bosons and fermions, depending on how systems of identical particles behave when the particles exchange places. In standard quantum theory, experimental observations in three dimensions point to a strict binary: when two identical particles swap positions, the combined quantum state either remains unchanged, corresponding to bosons, or it acquires a minus sign, corresponding to fermions, w ... read more
