Discovery of new class of particles could take quantum mechanics one step further
Scientists led by Hanns-Christoph Nägerl have observed anyons -- quasiparticles that differ from the familiar fermions and bosons -- in a one-dimensional quantum system for the first time. The results ...
In quantum mechanics, particles do not behave like everyday objects. Instead of existing in one clearly defined state, they can occupy several possible states at once, a phenomenon known as ...
Science Daily: Discovery of new class of particles could take quantum mechanics one step further
Researchers from the University of Innsbruck, the Collège de France, and the Université Libre de Bruxelles have developed a simple yet powerful method to reveal anyons—exotic quantum particles that ...
Amid the many mysteries of quantum physics, subatomic particles don't always follow the rules of the physical world. They can exist in two places at once, pass through solid barriers and even ...
