Experiments (In Brief!)

Abstract

Abstract We give a brief account of some of the experimental systems believed to harbor anyons (or that might someday be coaxed to harbor anyons). We discuss Fractional Quantum Hall Effects — abelian and nonabelian — in some detail. We mention Fractional Chern Insulators, and Bosonic Fractional Quantum Hall Effects. We discuss gapped spin liquids — particular the Kitaev Honeycomb model and frustrated antiferromagents. We briefly discuss conventional superconductors before turning to so-called Majorana materials. Finally we discuss the recent advances in quantum simulation of matter.
