Fermions and bosons are two fundamental classes of particles in quantum mechanics. Fermions, which include particles like electrons and protons, obey the Pauli exclusion principle and have half-integer spin. Bosons, such as photons and gluons, have integer spin and can occupy the same quantum state, facilitating forces and interactions between fermions.

Key research themes

1. How do composite fermions emerge and affect many-body quantum interference phenomena?

This theme explores the formation, properties, and experimental signatures of composite fermions, especially in contexts where quarks and leptons may be composite objects bound at high energy scales. It also investigates the implications of their composite nature on many-body interference phenomena, highlighting deviations from idealized particle statistics due to internal fermionic substructure.

Key finding: The work introduces a method based on gauge theory complementarity to argue that massless or nearly massless composite fermions, such as quarks and leptons, can arise in QCD-like theories at compositeness scales around 1–100... Read more
Key finding: This paper reveals that composite bosons formed by pairs of fermions exhibit deviations from ideal bosonic statistics in many-body interference experiments such as Hong-Ou-Mandel setups. The composite nature is encoded in a... Read more
Key finding: The paper provides a rigorous schema elucidating dualities between bosonic and fermionic quantum field theories, particularly bosonization in two dimensions. It formalizes how bosonic and fermionic models can be isomorphic or... Read more

2. What are the theoretical frameworks and algebraic structures describing the interpolation between fermionic and bosonic statistics, including anyons and q-deformed particles?

This theme encompasses generalized quantum statistics that interpolate between fermions and bosons, such as anyons in two dimensions and q-deformed quantum algebras, aiming to understand their occupation numbers, virial coefficients, thermodynamics, and implications on quantum gases. It includes theoretical methods to represent and simulate such fractional or deformed statistics and their measurable thermodynamic signatures.

Key finding: The authors propose analytic modifications of the Gibbs factor to model occupation numbers of free anyons near the bosonic and fermionic limits. They derive virial coefficients matching those of anyons up to fourth and fifth... Read more
Key finding: The study constructs the thermodynamic geometry for ideal q-deformed boson and fermion gases using Jackson derivatives. It demonstrates that q-deformed bosons exhibit attractive statistical interactions, whereas q-deformed... Read more
Key finding: The paper differentiates fermionization—strong repulsive interactions with contact potentials—from crystallization arising from long-range dipolar interactions in 1D bosonic systems. Using multiconfigurational time-dependent... Read more

3. How do extensions of fermion-boson interaction models and gauge theories contribute to understanding resonances and emergent phenomena in quantum systems?

This theme covers exactly solvable and extended models capturing fermion-boson couplings, resonances, and collective excitations in fields ranging from nuclear physics to condensed matter. It includes rigorous constructions of extended Friedrichs models incorporating fermion-boson couplings, studies of gauge theory phases and dualities, and discussions on the role of exotic fermions and extra gauge bosons in anomalous magnetic moments, with relevance to emergent resonant states, mass corrections, and fundamental particle characteristics.

Key finding: This work extends the standard Friedrichs model by incorporating fermion bound states coupled to boson fields, resulting in fermion resonant states analogous to Gamow resonances. Using resolvent and T-matrix formalisms, the... Read more
Key finding: Using recent precise measurements of the muon anomalous magnetic moment, the paper constrains models featuring exotic fermions and additional neutral gauge bosons. It quantitatively determines bounds on flavor-changing... Read more
Key finding: The authors establish that the Boson-Sampling computing model, typically reliant on identical bosons, can be realized using non-interacting fermions provided they are prepared in appropriately entangled states. They propose a... Read more
