In the fractional quantum Hall effect, quasiparticles are collective excitations that have a fractional charge and show fractional statistics as they interchange positions. While the fractional charge affects semi-classical characteristics such as shot noise and charging energies, fractional statistics is most notable through quantum interference. Here we study fractional statistics in a bilayer graphene Fabry-Pérot interferometer.

When admitted to the hospital, the patient had the appearance of congestive heart failure due to moderate to severe tricuspid valve regurgitation and right ventricle dysfunction. The pulmonary artery (PA) banding was required first because of low systolic pressure in the morphological left ventricle less than 70% confirmed by catheterization.
