Fractional Electrons in Liquid Helium?
R. Jackiw, C. Rebbi, J.R. Schrieffer
TL;DR
This paper challenges the notion of fractional electrons in liquid helium bubbles, proposing instead that the electrons are entangled, which has implications for understanding quantum states in such systems.
Contribution
It introduces the idea that electrons in liquid helium are entangled rather than fractional, offering a new perspective on their quantum behavior.
Findings
Electrons in helium bubbles are entangled, not fractional.
Entanglement explains observed phenomena better than fractional charge models.
Theoretical argument against fractionalization in liquid helium systems.
Abstract
We argue that electrons in liquid helium bubbles are not fractional, they are entangled.
