[43] When Daniel Tsui and Horst Strmer discovered the fractional quantum Hall effect in 1982, Bertrand Halperin (1984) expanded the math Wilczek proposed in 1982 for fractional statistics in two dimensions to help explain it. 288. Later we learned that they had been anticipated in a general way by Sakharov. Still to this day I think the quantum theory of angular momentum is one of the absolute pinnacles of human achievement.

In 1973, while a graduate student working with David Gross at Princeton University, Wilczek (together with Gross) discovered asymptotic freedom, which holds that the closer quarks are to each other, the less the strong interaction (or color charge) between them; when quarks are in extreme proximity, the nuclear force between them is so weak that they behave almost as free particles. Rev. When that symmetry is spontaneously broken, a new particle results, as shown independently by Wilczek and by Steven Weinberg.
