Abstract

We study a theoretical model for synthetic anyons in a noninteracting quantum many-body system. Synthetic anyons can occur in a noninteracting system when it is perturbed with specially tailored localized probes, which supply the demanded nontrivial topology in the system. The model is represented by the Hamiltonian for noninteracting electrons in two dimensions, in a uniform magnetic field, pierced with solenoids with a magnetic flux that is a fraction of the flux quantum. In a potential experimental realization of the model, there should be a mechanism fixing the flux in all solenoid probes to an identical value for these perturbations to represent synthetic anyons. We find analytically and numerically the ground state of the model when only the lowest Landau-level states are occupied. We calculate the statistical parameter by using the Berry phase, and show that the ground state is anyonic in the coordinates of the probes. We show that these synthetic anyons cannot be considered as emergent quasiparticles. The fusion rules are discussed for different microscopic realizations of the fusion process.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • As η → 0, the state becomes (2.27), except m is shifted by 1, thus avoiding a spurious divergent state.

    “Note that as η → 0 , the state becomes (2.27), except m is shifted by 1 , thus avoiding a spurious divergent state 1 | z | -α exp ( -| z | 2 4 l 2 B ) (see [18]).”

    From Anyons, Zitterbewegung and dynamical phase transitions in topologically nontrivial systems (2022) · cites this paper as [18]

    The Appendix (p. 8) gives the allowed lowest-Landau-level angular quantum numbers as m ≤ −1 for 0 < α < 1 and excludes the divergent m = 0 state as spurious. The available text does not establish the claimed η → 0 limit or its equivalence to the citing paper’s Eq. (2.27), except for a shift in m. (LLM, conf=0.82)

  • If one of the pairs is moved in a circle of sufficiently large radius around the other pair, the expected statistical phase is 2 2 × 2π(α - 1).

    “For example, if we move one of the pairs in a circle of sufficiently large radius around the other pair, we analytically obtain the expected statistical phase of 2 2 × 2 π ( α -1) (see Appendix B of [18] for details of calculation).”
  • For a single probe, the single-particle states of the system at the LLL energy are given by Eq. (4.5).

    “For a single probe, the single-particle states of the system at the LLL energy are given by (see Appendix A in [18] for details of the calculation)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
