When electrons are placed in a strong magnetic field and cooled to very low temperatures, they stop behaving independently and instead act as a collective fluid. This is known as a fractional quantum Hall (FQH) system. In this regime, the electrons lose their individual behaviour and act as one correlated system. The strong interactions between them produce quasiparticles called anyons. These are not real particles but effective ones that emerge from the collective behaviour, and they have unusu
