Researchers have uncovered new phenomena in the study of fractional quantum Hall effects.
Their experiments, conducted under extreme conditions, have revealed unexpected states of matter, challenging existing theories and setting the stage for advancements in quantum computing and materials science.
Imagine a two-dimensional flatland, instead of our three-dimensional world, where the rules of physics are turned on their head and particles like electrons defy expectations to reveal new secrets. That’s exactly what a team of researchers, including Georgia State University Professor of Physics Ramesh G. Mani and recent Ph.D. graduate U. Kushan Wijewardena, have been studying at Georgia State’s laboratories.
Their studies have resulted in a discovery recently published in the journal Communications Physics. The team has delved into the enigmatic world of fractional quantum Hall effects (FQHE), uncovering novel, unexpected phenomena when these systems are probed in new ways and pushed beyond their usual boundaries.
