The Quest to Prove the Existence of a New Type of Quantum Particle

Summary

Nutrition label

83% Informative

Zhiyuan Wang , a physicist at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Germany , developed a new theory of paraparticles.

They say a third class of particles, called paraparticles, can indeed exist, and that these particles could produce strange new materials.

The work is reopening a physics mystery that was believed to be solved decades ago.

A new model of paraparticles may be theoretically possible after all.

In their model, groups of paraparticle share extra hidden properties.

When you swap two paraparticles, these hidden properties change in tandem .

When these assumptions hold true, the researchers found that paraparticles are impossible.

If paraparticles exist, they’ll most likely be emergent particles, called quasiparticles.

They are able to pack just a few particles into the same state, before getting crowded and forcing others into new states.

Bryce Gadway , an experimental physicist at Pennsylvania State University , is optimistic paraparticles will be realized in the lab in the next few years .
