| contents | We show that the presence of anyons in the excitation spectrum of a two-dimensional system can be inferred from nonlinear spectroscopic quantities. In particular, we consider pump-probe spectroscopy, where a sample is irradiated by two light pulses with an adjustable time delay between them. The relevant response coefficient exhibits a universal form that originates from the statistical phase acquired when anyons created by the first pulse braid around those created by the second. This behaviour is shown to be qualitatively unchanged by non-universal physics including non-statistical interactions and small nonzero temperatures. In magnetic systems, the signal of interest can be measured using currently available terahertz-domain probes, highlighting the potential usefulness of nonlinear spectroscopic techniques in the search for quantum spin liquids. |
