Paraparticle emulation on a superconducting qubit lattice, Part 2
ORAL
Abstract
The statistics of indistinguishable particles are typically classified as having either Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac statistics. Unconventional statistics, such as anyonic or non-Abelian statistics, are an active area of research, but are generally limited to two-dimensional space. Paraparticles are a new class of particle types with novel statistics not limited by their spatial dimension, which have been recently theoretically proposed [1]. In this talk, we discuss a method to emulate a type of paraparticle using a two-dimensional superconducting qubit lattice. We leverage common features of superconducting qubits, such as parametric coupling and ZZ-interactions, to realize the paraparticle Hamiltonian. In this second part of a two-part talk, we discuss further experiments that probe fundamental paraparticle physics, including two-particle interference and thermalization.
