We demonstrate how to directly study non-Abelian statistics for a wide class of exactly solvable many-body quantum systems. By employing exact eigenstates to simulate the adiabatic transport of a model's quasiparticles, the resulting Berry…
A remarkable property of quantum mechanics in two-dimensional (2D) space is its ability to support "anyons," particles that are neither fermions nor bosons. Theory predicts that these exotic excitations can be realized as bound states…
Existing quantum Hall interferometers measure twice the braiding phase, $e^{i2\theta}$, of Abelian anyons, i.e. the phase accrued when one quasi-particle encircles another clockwise. We propose a modified Fabry-P\'{e}rot or Mach-Zehnder…
Kitaev's quantum double models, including the toric code, are canonical examples of quantum topological models on a 2D spin lattice. Their Hamiltonian defines the groundspace by imposing an energy penalty to any nontrivial flux or charge,…

We propose a closed form for the statistical distribution of non-interacting Majorana fermions at low temperature. Majorana particles often appear in the contemporary many-body literature in the Kitaev, Fu-Kane, or Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models,…
Until recently, a careful derivation of the fusion structure of anyons from some underlying physical principles has been lacking. In [Shi et al., Ann. Phys., 418 (2020)], the authors achieved this goal by starting from a conjectured form of…
We review aspects of classical and quantum mechanics of many anyons confined in an oscillator potential. The quantum mechanics of many anyons is complicated due to the occurrence of multivalued wavefunctions. Nevertheless there exists, for…
We show that the braiding of anyons in a quantum spin liquid leaves a distinct dynamical signature in the nonlinear pump-probe response. Using a combination of exact diagonalization and matrix product state techniques, we study the…

Anyons are particles with fractional exchange statistics that emerge as elementary excitations of fractional quantum Hall phases. Experimentally, their exchange statistics can be measured in the edge-state Fabry-P\'erot interferometer. In…
We consider a thought experiment where two distinct species of 2D particles in a perpendicular magnetic field interact via repulsive potentials. If the magnetic field and the interactions are strong enough, one type of particles forms a…
We describe in a simple setting how to extract a unitary braided fusion category from a collection of superselection sectors of a two-dimensional quantum spin system, corresponding to abelian anyons. The structure of the unitary braided…
We develop a full characterization of abelian quantum statistics on graphs. We explain how the number of anyon phases is related to connectivity. For 2-connected graphs the independence of quantum statistics with respect to the number of…
We study one-dimensional (1D) lattice anyons with extended Hubbard interactions at unit filling using bosonization and numerical simulations. The behavior can be continuously tuned from Bosonic to Fermionic behavior by adjusting the…

Anyons in one spatial dimension can be defined by correctly identifying the configuration space of indistinguishable particles and imposing Robin boundary conditions. This allows an interpolation between the bosonic and fermionic limits. In…
