The Strange Quantum Particles Carrying a Fraction of an Electron
Published 5 days, 16 hours ago
Description
Scientists have confirmed quasiparticles carrying just one-quarter of an electron’s charge in a remarkable quantum state.
Using extreme temperatures, powerful magnetic fields, and shot-noise measurements, researchers found evidence that could deepen our understanding of exotic quantum matter—and potentially open new paths toward fault-tolerant topological quantum computers.
