abstract

The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of quantum physics: it governs the structure of matter. Extensions of this principle, such as Haldane's generalized exclusion statistics, predict the existence of exotic quantum states characterized by fractional Fermi seas (FFS), i.e. momentum distributions with uniform but fractional occupancies. Here, we report the experimental realization of fractional Fermi seas in an excited one-dimensional Bose gas prepared through ramping cycles in the interaction strength. The resulting excited yet stable Bose-gas states exhibit Friedel oscillations, smoking-gun signatures of the underlying FFS. The stabilization of these states offers an opportunity to deepen our understanding of quantum thermodynamics in the presence of exotic statistics and paves the way for applications in quantum information and sensing.

Fine-grained topological structures hidden in Fermi sea

cond-mat.mes-hall · 2026-03-19 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Fermi seas with the same Euler characteristic χ_F possess distinct fine-grained topological structures captured by a new structural resolution factor, which topological superconductors inherit to produce anomalous gapless boundary states.
