From anyons to Majoranas
Nature Reviews Physics Springer Nature 2:12 (2020) 667-668
Abstract:
Anyons, particles that are neither bosons nor fermions, were predicted in the 1980s, but strong experimental evidence for the existence of the simplest type of anyons has only emerged this year. Further theoretical and experimental advances promise to nail the existence of more exotic types of anyons, such as Majorana fermions, which would make topological quantum computation possible.From anyons to Majoranas

Transport properties of multilayer graphene
Physical Review B American Physical Society 101 (2020) 245438
Abstract:
We apply the semi-classical Boltzmann formalism for the computation of transport properties to multilayer graphene. We compute the electrical conductivity as well as the thermal conductivity and thermopower for Bernal-stacked multilayers with an even number of layers. We show that the window for hydrodynamic transport in multilayer graphene is similar to the case of bilayer graphene. We introduce a simple hydrodynamic model which we dub the multi-fluid model and which can be used to reproduce the results for the electrical conductivity and thermopower from the semi-classical Boltzmann equation.Wavefunctionology: The Special Structure of Certain Fractional Quantum Hall Wavefunctions
