Title of talk: "A Strange New Universe: Where Bizarre Quantum Particles Rule" When electrons are confined to two dimensions and exposed to a strong magnetic field, they give rise to an astonishing new world, one that defies our everyday intuition. In this realm, electrons capture quanta of magnetic field to transform into exotic particles known as composite fermions. These particles form the foundation of an unexpected and remarkably rich quantum landscape. In this talk, I will share the motivations that led to the discovery of composite fermions, explain what they are, and explore the expansive phenomenology they produce, including additional bizarre particles that could pave the way to new technology. No advanced background required, just a willingness to be amazed by quantum physics.
