Anyons: New Types of Particles in Quantum Physics	While it was originally believed that only bosons and fermions were allowed by quantum mechanics, in fact, when objects are restricted to move on a two-dimensional plane, new types of particles called "anyons" can emerge.	Steve Simon	21 February, 2025
Why Hydrodynamics?	What is hydrodynamics and why does it apply over 20 orders of magnitude in energy and length.	Steve Simon, Julia Yeomans	29 April, 2021
Topology and the Classification of Matter: New Physics Hidden in Plain Sight	Third lecture "More is different" - how states of matter emerge from quantum theory Saturday morning of Theoretical Physics. With Professor Steve Simon, introduction by Professor John WheelerThird	Steve Simon	1 November, 2016
Knots, World-lines, and Topological Quantum Computation	Members of the Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics hosted the 7th morning of Theoretical Physics covering the idea of quantum computation and the strange behaviour of certain types of fundamental particle.	Steve Simon	14 May, 2015
