Anyon (experimental: 2020, 2D only)

The name actually comes from "any". Amazing.

Can only exist in 2D surfaces, not 3D, where fermions and bosons are the only options.

All known anyons are quasiparticles.

Abelian an non abelian anyons

 0  0 

Abelian anyon

 0  0 

On particle exchange:

ψ = e^{θ i} ψ

so it is a generalization of bosons and fermions which have

θ = 0

and

θ = π

respectively.

Key physical experiment: fractional quantum Hall effect.

Non Abelian anyon

 0  0 

Exotic and hard to find experimentally.
