Maybe learn some new words?

In a paper posted on the preprint server arXiv last October and published in Nature today, researchers at Google Quantum AI announced that they had used one of their superconducting quantum processors to observe the peculiar behavior of non-Abelian anyons for the first time ever.

I know nothing of anyons, abelian or otherwise, so here’s what TATE has to say about them:

anyons

“In physics, an anyon is a type of quasiparticle that occurs only in two-dimensional systems”

So they are quasiparticles. Similar to a phonon, or electron hole.
