This $416,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports theoretical and computational research, as well as education, to advance fundamental understanding of anyons - particles that are neither fermions nor bosons, but something in between. The principal investigator and their students at The Pennsylvania State University will explore the unique properties of these exotic particles, examining their spatial profiles, tunneling behaviors, clustering into molecules, photoluminescence characteristics, and potential applications without a magnetic field. This research aims to deepen the understanding of anyons and their significance for developing fault-tolerant quantum computers. The award period runs from September 15, 2025 through August 31, 2028.
