They used a powerful machine called a quantum processor to make, for the first time, a brand-new phase of matter called non-Abelian topological order. Previously recognized in theory only, the team demonstrated synthesis and control of exotic particles called non-Abelian anyons, which are neither bosons or fermions, but something in between. Anyons are quasiparticles in a two-dimensional space.
What’s exciting is that they can be used to make a quantum computer that is much more stable than current efforts with superconducting qubits.
Man, I remember when you could almost follow what science was talking about.
The singularity has begun
Sounds like a lot of hight mathematics.
My current quantum computer is already way more than I need. I’ll probably wait at least a generation before upgrading.
How do scientists decide what constitutes a phase of matter? Liquid, solid, gas, plasma is kinda obvious, but there are so many new phases of matter that it makes me wonder how they decide something constitutes a “phase”.
Solid, liquid, gas, plasma, Non-Abelian Topological Order.
It rolls off the tongue. /s
Not what I would have named it but if you discover it you get the privilege to name it whatever you like and I can respect that. Cool beans.
Maybe if we called it NATO it would be less confusing…. ah wait dammit
