The one dimensional quantum walk of anyonic systems is presented. The anyonic walker performs braiding operations with stationary anyons of the same type ordered canonically on the line of the walk. Abelian as well as non-Abelian anyons are…

Anyons emerge as elementary excitations in low-dimensional quantum systems and exhibit behavior distinct from bosons or fermions. Previous models of anyons in one dimension (1D) are mainly categorized into two types: those that rely on…

We study quantum many-body states of immanons, hypothetical particles that obey an exchange symmetry defined for more than two participating particles. Immanons thereby generalize bosons and fermions, which are defined by their behavior…

The theory of quantum computation can be constructed from the abstract study of anyonic systems. In mathematical terms, these are unitary topological modular functors. They underlie the Jones polynomial and arise in Witten-Chern-Simons…

Satyendra Nath Bose's attempt to describe the quantum statistical aspects of light consistently in terms of particles, and Einstein's generalisation, lead to the concept of Bosons as a class of quanta obeying `Bose-Einstein statistics'.…

In three spatial dimensions, particles are limited to either bosonic or fermionic statistics. Two-dimensional systems, on the other hand, can support anyonic quasiparticles exhibiting richer statistical behaviours. An exciting proposal for…

We formulate quantum mechanics in spacetimes with real-order fractional geometry and more general factorizable measures. In spacetimes where coordinates and momenta span the whole real line, Heisenberg's principle is proven and the…

We describe a system of axioms that, on one hand, is sufficient for constructing the standard mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics and, on the other hand, is necessary from the phenomenological standpoint. In the proposed scheme, the…

Identical particles exhibit correlations even in the absence of inter-particle interaction, due to the exchange (anti)symmetry of the many-particle wavefunction. Two fermions obey the Pauli principle and anti-bunch, whereas two bosons favor…

The main objective of this paper is to obtain an operator realization for the bosonization of fermions in 1 + 1 dimensions, at finite, non-zero temperature T. This is achieved in the framework of the real time formalism of Thermofield…

The partition function for a system of non-interacting $N-$particles can be found by summing over all the states of the system. The classical partition function for an ideal gas differs from Bosonic or Fermionic partition function in the…

In low-dimensional systems, indistinguishable particles can display statistics that interpolate between bosons and fermions. Signatures of these "anyons" have been detected in two-dimensional quasiparticle excitations of the fractional…

In quantum electrodynamics, optical processes are theoretically described by double-sided Feynman diagrams. This formalism is powerful in the case of molecules but proves inappropriate to account for light-matter interactions within complex…

In the present paper I argue that the formalism of Newtonian mechanics stems directly from the general principle to be called the principle of microlevel reducibility which physical systems obey in the realm of classical physics. This…

The two-component formulation of quantum electrodynamics is studied. The relation with the usual Dirac formulation is exhibited, and the Feynman rules for the two-component form of the theory are presented in terms of familiar objects. The…

Studies of free particles in low-dimensional quantum systems such as two-leg ladders provide insight into the influence of statistics on collective behaviour. The behaviours of bosons and fermions are well understood, but two-dimensional…

In this paper, a method is developed to investigate the relativistic quantum information of anyons. Anyons are particles with intermediate statistics ranging between Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics, with a parameter $\alpha$…

Strongly interacting one-dimensional quantum systems often behave in a manner that is distinctly different from their higher-dimensional counterparts. When a particle attempts to move in a one-dimensional environment it will unavoidably…

We explain why, in a configuration space that is multiply connected, i.e., whose fundamental group is nontrivial, there are several quantum theories, corresponding to different choices of topological factors. We do this in the context of…
