Discovery of Fractionalized Neutral Spin-1/2 Excitation of Topological Order
After the discovery of fraction quantum Hall states in the 1980s,[1] it became more and more clear that Landau symmetry breaking theory does not describe all possible quantum phases of matter. The new quantum phases of matter were called topologically ordered phases[2,3] (for gapped cases) or quantu...
