Quasiparticles with fractional charge and fractional statistics are key features of the fractional quantum Hall effect. We discuss in detail the definitions of fractional charge and statistics and the ways in which these properties may be observed. In addition to theoretical foundations, we review the present status of the experiments in the area. We also discuss the notions of non-Abelian statistics and attempts to find experimental evidence for the existence of non-Abelian quasiparticles in certain quantum Hall systems.

量子霍尔效应中的分数电荷和分数统计

具有分数电荷和分数统计的准粒子是分数量子霍尔效应的关键特征。我们详细讨论了分数电荷和统计数据的定义以及可以观察到这些属性的方式。除了理论基础外，我们还回顾了该领域实验的现状。我们还讨论了非阿贝尔统计的概念，并试图找到在某些量子霍尔系统中存在非阿贝尔准粒子的实验证据。
