In physics, quasiparticles are used to describe complex processes in solids. In ultracold quantum gases, these quasiparticles can be reproduced and studied. Now scientists have been able to observe in experiments how Fermi polarons — a special type of quasiparticle — can interact with each other. ​In physics, quasiparticles are used to describe complex processes …
