‘Paraparticles’ Would Be a Third Kingdom of Quantum Particle | Quanta Magazine
A new proposal makes the case that paraparticles — a new category of quantum particle — could be created in exotic materials.
Hasnain says:
“If paraparticles exist, they’ll most likely be emergent particles, called quasiparticles, that show up as energetic vibrations in certain quantum materials.
“We might get new models of exotic phases, which were difficult to understand before, that you can now solve easily using paraparticles,” said Meng Cheng (opens a new tab), a physicist at Yale University who was not involved in the research.”
