Dynamics of a two-dimensional quantum spin liquid: signatures of emergent Majorana fermions and fluxes

Topological states of matter present a wide variety of striking new phenomena. Prominent among these is the fractionalisation of electrons into unusual particles: Majorana fermions [1], Laughlin quasiparticles [2] or magnetic monopoles [3]. Their detection, however, is fundamentally complicated by t...
