Exotic states pop up in bilayer graphene Particles with exotic quantum statistics are expected to be able to support an especially appealing flavor of quantum computing (QC) called topological QC. A particular fractional quantum Hall state in the semiconductor GaAs has long been thought to possess excitations with these favorable properties, but proving so has turned out to be tricky. Working with bilayer graphene instead of GaAs, Li et al. found four states that appear to be consistent with… Expand
