Anyons in an optical lattice are predicted to exhibit a characteristic signature in their density distribution (rainbow-colored curve). This distribution can be directly measured in experiments, thus providing a striking tool for the unambiguous detection of anyons. The inset is an illustration of conditional hopping of atoms in a lattice. Image: Nature Publishing Group, London
