The article discusses how in certain quantum systems, two bosons can combine to form a new type of particle called an anyon with any statistical angle. This is achieved by using a topological approach to quantum kinematics, which involves a generalization of braid theory in two dimensions. The researchers show that the statistics of composites containing different types of particles are not solely determined by the statistics of the individual particles. This finding has implications for understanding quantum behavior in two-dimensional systems and is compared to similar phenomena in three-dimensional systems.
