New research discovers quantum particles that exist in one dimension
A pair of identical particles swapping places sounds like a small move. In quantum physics, it is a defining one. In everyday ...
In three-dimensional particle physics, elementary particles divide nicely into fermions and bosons. But in lower-dimensions, things aren’t so clear cut. These dimensions host a “third kingdom” of ...
