Composite fermions or electrons that capture an even number of flux quanta, are commonly used to explain ground states in the fractional quantum Hall regime. These composite fermions are typically ...

Today, quantum optical experiments provide methods to prove the rules that have been thought of and pressed into elegant mathematical equations in those days. In this regard, scientists in the Quantum ...

Inside materials, the interactions between groups of electrons and atoms in the crystal lattice can give rise to a variety of interesting phenomena. Their collective behavior, especially at low ...

A team of theoretical physicists has proposed a new particle existing in a warped fifth dimension that could bridge ordinary matter with dark matter. The model, published in The European Physical ...

Physicists in the Netherlands say that they have found the first evidence for the existence of “Majorana fermions” – particles that are their own antiparticles. The researchers claim to have spotted ...

Physicists are unlocking new ways to simulate fermionic systems on quantum computers, combining clever encodings with circuit optimizations. These advances make it easier to represent the complex ...

In recent years physicists have realized that fermions can exhibit superfluid behaviour because of their ability to pair up at very low temperatures. Now a US group has shown that if a mixture of ...

For the first time, scientists from the CMS experiment on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN have succeeded in finding evidence for the direct decay of the Higgs boson into fermions. Previously, ...

Fermions tend to avoid each other and cannot “travel” in close proximity. Demonstrated by a team at the Institut d’optique (CNRS/Université Paris 11, Orsay-Palaiseau), this result is described in ...
