Quantum Matter Seminar

Anyons are quasi-particles that exhibit exchange statistics distinct from those of fermions and bosons. These exotic particles can be realized within the framework of the fractional quantum Hall effect, representing a highly coveted goal in condensed matter physics. In this talk, I will review our group's recent advancements in studying anyons within bilayer graphene-based van der Waals heterostructures. The first part will focus on our investigation of the exchange statistics of Abelian anyons [1]. In the second part, I will present a detailed topological order study of various non-Abelian states [2].
