This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides a $175,228 grant to Cornell University to investigate anyons, a type of exotic particle that can only exist in two-dimensional materials. The 5-year project aims to directly visualize anyon wavefunctions, reveal their statistical properties, and develop methods to manipulate the positions of anyons using a scanning tunneling microscope. Additionally, the project will explore fractional Chern insulators, a class of two-dimensional quantum materials, to potentially access anyons without the need for strong magnetic fields. The research has both fundamental scientific and potential quantum computing applications. As part of the award, the team will also collaborate on outreach activities to excite public interest in quantum physics and incorporate quantum information and machine learning into university physics curriculum.
