[...] Laumann. If you follow NEQNET really carefully, you should remember Kitaev (he is a master mind of topological quantum computation). This paper contains the set of his lectures on the subject – in particular, topological effects [...]

Hi Keith,

started to discuss the quantum Hall effect here.

Cheers,
Dmitry.

Dear Keith,

Yes, they are composite – like as in the example that I used in the post – you can visualize them as a particle with a vortex constantly attached to it. I think I’ll write a blog post about quantum Hall effect for you.

Cheers,
Dmitry.

P.S. The excitations are called anyons, not axions.

Hi Dmitry
I don’t know anything in this field, I just want to lean something. If I understand correctly, the axions are some quasiparticles, they are not fundamental, right? In fractional Hall effect, what acts as the axion?
