Professor Steve Simon - The Story of Anyons

[@davidhand9721]

Anyons could really benefit from a Spacetime Algebra description. It would make all of these phase shifts a whole lot more clear and intuitive.

Great lec, thank you for sharing🙏 It's a shame about the audio echo but lecture theatres are built for ears, not microphones 😭

[@davidhand9721]

Interesting; in Geometric Algebra, there can be any number of distinct elements that square to 1. I wonder how that would effect things.

[@davidhand9721]

How are you measuring a phase shift? Isn't that very fundamentally impossible?

[@davidhand9721]

So the 2D anyon has the same charge as a down quark? That's kinda sus.
