Simulation of anyon motion in 1-D
Experimental realization of particles with unusual statistics (neither Fermi nor Bose) have attracted some recent interest:
"Anyons abound in 1D quantum gases", J.L.Miller, Physics Today 78 (9), 12-14 (2025)
"Realization of one-dimensional anyons with arbitrary statistical phase", J.Kwan et al., Science 386, 1055-1060 (2024)
The project aims to construct a computer code for the simulation of the dynamics of a number
of such particles on a one-dimensional lattice and analyze these dynamics.
The student is expected to have a reasonable amount of computational skill.
(Improvement of computational skills should also be seen as a part of the
aims of this project.)
The student must have passed the Phys 325 (QM-I) course.
It is best that the student discuss the project with me before applying for assignment.
