Jon Magne Leinaas is a Norwegian theoretical physicist known for his work in the field of quantum physics and statistical mechanics. He is particularly recognized for his contributions to the understanding of many-body systems and the properties of composite and emergent phenomena in quantum mechanics. Leinaas is also well-known for proposing the concept of "anyons," which are particles that can exist in two-dimensional space and have properties that differ from traditional fermions and bosons.
