Fermions are subatomic particles with half-integer spin that follow Fermi-Dirac statistics. They are the building blocks of matter in the Standard Model, which classifies all fundamental particles as either fermions or bosons.

#KnowledgeByte: "Impossible particles," also referred to as "#Paraparticles," are theoretical particles that would not fit into the current classification of fundamental particles as either #Fermions or #Bosons.

Some recent studies prove that paraparticles, a particle class with unique exchange statistics that was long thought impossible, might indeed exist in nature.

#DidYouKnow: #Anyons are exotic quasiparticles that exist only in two-dimensional systems and exhibit unusual exchange statistics, unlike #Bosons or #Fermions.

Their unique properties, arising from the braiding of their world lines, make them promising candidates for use in topological quantum computers.

Anyon

An Anyon is a type of quasiparticle that exists only in two-dimensional systems. Unlike bosons and fermions, which are the fundamental particles that make up all matter, anyons have more exotic exchange statistics.

Quantum entanglement, not oil or coal, powers a new kind of engine

At very low temperatures, bosons settle into states of lower energy than fermions do.

changing bosons into fermions and back can create work.

In this design, particles step through changes in their quantum character, and that shifting property runs the engine.

Quantum entanglement, not oil or coal, powers a new kind of engine

Quantum technology has been attracting a lot of attention in recent years thanks to computers that exploit atomic properties and now engines.

Physicists Discover a Quantum State With a New Type of Emergent Particles: Six-Flux Composite Fermions

If the fractional quantum Hall regime were a series of highways, these highways would have either two or four lanes. The flow of the two-flux or four-flux composite fermions, like automobiles in this two- to four-flux composite fermion traffic scenario, naturally explains the more than 90 fractional

Maybe not practical, but interesting. Compressing boson molecules in a container, then letting them expand by turning them into fermions.

"Instead of heat, this proof-of-principle microscopic engine runs on the energy difference associated with the statistical properties of quantum matter."

Witnessing Nonequilibrium Entanglement Dynamics in a Strongly Correlated Fermionic Chain

Many-body entanglement in condensed matter systems can be diagnosed from equilibrium response functions through the use of entanglement witnesses and operator-specific quantum bounds. Here, we investigate the applicability of this approach for detecting entangled states in quantum systems driven out of equilibrium. We use a multipartite entanglement witness, the quantum Fisher information, to study the dynamics of a paradigmatic fermion chain undergoing a time-dependent change of the Coulomb interaction. Our results show that the quantum Fisher information is able to witness distinct signatures of multipartite entanglement both near and far from equilibrium that are robust against decoherence. We discuss implications of these findings for probing entanglement in light-driven quantum materials with time-resolved optical and x-ray scattering methods.

@introvertnudist What you can see in the picture is my "inner universe," subjective reality. Here's a pic of the other side, the "outer universe," objective reality. It's the standard model of particle physics, all the #fermions and force #bosons (and, ok, I added gravity even though we're not really there yet). The circuit motif that surrounds them is because I'm a #transhumanist.
