Realizing non-abelian anyons in van der Waals materials
Demonstrating non-abelian exchange statistics holds the promise of leading science to new terrains where we can manipulate exotic quasiparticles. Unlike fermions, bosons, and abelian anyons, the many-body wavefunction of indistinguishable non-abelian anyons is entirely altered when swapping their positions. With the theoretical groundwork for uncovering exotic exchange properties, pioneering experiments provided preliminary evidence of the lowest-order non-abelian anyons, indicating the topological superconductivity phase. Yet, due to technological limitations inherent to current state-of-the-art platforms, new observations of non-abelian statistics or preliminary signatures of higher-order…
