Abstract

Exact two-dimensional analytic wave functions for an arbitrary number NN of contact-interacting lowest-Landau-level (LLL) spinful fermions are derived with the use of combined numerical and symbolic computational approaches via analysis of exact Hamiltonian numerical diagonalization data. Closed-form analytic expressions are presented for two families of zero-interaction-energy states at given total angular momentum and total spin 0SN/20 \leq S \leq N/2 in the neighborhood of the ν=1\nu=1 filling, covering the range from the maximum density droplet to the first quasihole. Our theoretical predictions for higher-order spatial and momentum correlations reveal intrinsic polygonal, multi-ring crystalline-type structures, which can be tested with ultracold-atom experiments in rapidly rotating traps, simulating quantum Hall physics (including quantum LLL skyrmions).
