Abstract

Experimental schemes are proposed to engineer different types of anyon Hubbard models with ultracold two-component Fermi gases in an optical lattice, which may allow for the probing of fractional statistics of quasiparticles in one-dimensional anyonic models.

Quantum gas microscopy of the anyon-Hubbard model

Kwan, Joyce

Low-dimensional quantum systems can host anyons, particles with exchange statistics that are neither bosonic nor fermionic. However, the physics of one-dimensional (1D) anyons remains largely unexplored. Using ultracold bosonic Rb-87 atoms in an optical lattice, we realize and explore the anyon-Hubbard model, which hosts 1D anyons and features a rich phase diagram. We implement the model using techniques from Floquet engineering, realizing the statistical phase in the form of a density-dependent Peierls phase. Using our high-resolution imaging system, we explore both the dynamical and ground state behavior in the anyon-Hubbard model. In the first set of experiments, we probe 1D anyons via two-particle quantum walks, observing the anyonic Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect, as well as the formation of bound states without on-site interactions. Once interactions are introduced, we observe spatially asymmetric transport in contrast to the symmetric dynamics of bosons and fermions. In the next set of experiments, we adiabatically prepare and probe ground states in the anyon-Hubbard model. First, we observe continuous fermionization in the density profile with increasing statistical phase. Then, we probe the chirality of the bound states in the anyon-Hubbard model, drawing similarities to a continuum model of 1D anyons. This work constitutes the first experimental study of the anyon-Hubbard model, and lays the foundation for exploration in the strongly correlated many-body regime.

Anyons in One Dimension

Martin Greiter

A fascinating possibility exists for exotic quantum statistics to interpolate between the familiar cases of bosons and fermions: the anyon, observed in two dimensions. But how does it behave in one?

Observation of anyonic thermodynamics and generalized Pauli principle

Fansu Wei, Chi Zhang, Z Zhenyu Ye +4 more

Anyons are quasiparticles with quantum statistics interpolating between those of bosons and fermions. Two distinct manifestations of anyonic behaviour have been theoretically established: fractional exchange statistics where particle exchange can produce any phase, and generalized exclusion statistics which extends the Pauli exclusion principle. While anyons exhibiting fractional exchange statistics have been observed in diverse platforms, experimental realizations of generalized exclusion statistics and direct measurements of its thermodynamic signatures have remained elusive. Here, we realize an anyonic thermodynamic ensemble obeying generalized exclusion statistics and detect its anyonic thermodynamics in a one-dimensional strongly interacting quantum gas. To achieve this, we exploit the bijective mapping between dynamical and statistical interactions in one dimension. By tuning interaction strength and temperature over a wide range, we measure the equation of state and identify clear departures from Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics. These deviations are quantitatively captured by generalized exclusion statistics, providing direct evidence for the generalized Pauli principle. Independent probes of other thermodynamic quantities including pressure and the Tan contact further validate this framework. Our results establish a versatile platform for engineering anyonic exclusion statistics and open the door to thermodynamic applications of anyons in quantum technologies.

Boson-anyon-fermion mapping and anyon construction in one dimension

Haitian Wang, Yu Chen, Xiaoling Cui

We establish an exact mapping between identical particles in one dimension with arbitrary exchange statistics, including bosons, anyons, and fermions, provided they share the same scattering length. This boson-anyon-fermion mapping facilitates the construction of anyons from a linear superposition of spatially symmetric and antisymmetric states. This scheme is general and has been demonstrated in a spin-1/2 Fermi gas, where both s- and p-wave bound states can be supported by manipulating spin channels. With a suitable symmetry-breaking field, these bound states are hybridized to form a fractional-wave molecule. The condensation of these molecules in a many-body system leads to anyonic superfluidity, characterized by fractional statistics upon spin exchange within a Cooper pair. These anyonic states can be detected through asymmetric momentum distributions for each spin with a chiral k − 3 tail. Our results demonstrate the inadequacy of the contact interaction model for anyons in continuum and lattices, and have also suggested a convenient route for engineering fractional phases on the platform of ultracold atoms.
