We study the coupling between a quantum dot and the edge of a non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall state which is spatially separated from it by an integer quantum Hall state. Near a resonance, the physics at energy scales below the level…

The Hall-plateau width and the activation energy were measured in the bilayer quantum Hall state at filling factor \nu=2, 1 and 2/3, by changing the total electron density and the density ratio in the two quantum wells. Their behavior are…
We consider the properties of the Moore-Read Pfaffian state under particle-hole conjugation. We show that the particle-hole conjugate of the Pfaffian state - or "anti-Pfaffian" state - is in a different universality class from the Pfaffian…
We describe paired quantum Hall states at filling fractions $\nu$, where $\nu^{-1}$ is an integer, and present explicit wavefunctions for these states. Experiments are proposed to distinguish between paired states of singlet and triplet…
The Read-Rezayi (RR) parafermion states form a series of exotic non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states at filling $\nu = k/(k+2)$. Computationally, the wave functions of these states are prohibitively expensive to generate for…
We report the first unambiguous observation of a fractional quantum Hall state in the Landau level of a two-dimensional hole sample at the filling factor $\nu=8/3$. We identified this state by a quantized Hall resistance and an activated…
The quasiholes of the Read-Rezayi clustered quantum Hall states are considered, for any number of particles and quasiholes on a sphere, and for any degree k of clustering. A set of trial wavefunctions, that are zero-energy eigenstates of a…
We investigate edge reconstruction scenarios in the $\nu = 1$ quantum Hall state, focusing on configurations with upstream and downstream charge and neutral modes. Our analysis shows that the coexistence of upstream charge and neutral modes…
We identify some hidden symmetries of Chern-Simons theories, such as appear in the effective theory for quantized Hall states. This allows us to determine which filling fractions admit spin-singlet quantum Hall states. Our results shed some…
We perform numerical studies to determine if the fractional quantum Hall state observed at filling nu=5/2 is the Moore-Read wavefunction or its particle hole conjugate, the so-called AntiPfaffian. Using a truncated Hilbert space approach we…
Two-dimensional topological insulators, and in particular quantum Hall states, are characterized by an insulating bulk and a conducting edge. Fractional states may host both downstream (dictated by the magnetic field) and upstream…
The even denominator fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states $\nu=5/2$ and $\nu=7/2$ have been long predicted to host non-abelian quasiparticles (QPs). Their present energy-carrying neutral modes are hidden from customary conductance…
The abelian hierarchy of quantum Hall states accounts for most of the states in the lowest Landau level, and there is evidence of a similar hierarchy of non-abelian states emanating from the {\nu} = 5/2 Moore-Read state in the second Landau…
In this paper we study the coupling between a quantum dot and the edge of a non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall state. We assume the dot is small enough that its level spacing is large compared to both the temperature and the coupling to…
