We introduce a notion of homogeneous topological order, which is obeyed by most, if not all, known examples of topological order including fracton phases on quantum spins (qudits). The notion is a condition on the ground state subspace,…

We argue that, at any filling factor, correlated quantum-Hall systems possess a set of chiral boson excitations which are generated by electronically rigid deformations of the system's periphery. We submit that tunneling electrons can be…
A large class of fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states can be classified according to their pattern of zeros, which describes the order of zeros in ground state wave functions as various clusters of electrons are brought together. The…

Many fractional quantum Hall wave functions are known to be unique and highest-density zero modes of certain "pseudopotential" Hamiltonians. Examples include the Read-Rezayi series (in particular, the Laughlin, Moore-Read and Read-Rezayi…
In the study of the quantum Hall effect there are still many unresolved problems. One of these is how to generate representative wave functions for ground states on other geometries than the planar and spherical. We study one such geometry,…
Quantum systems are always subject to interactions with an environment, typically resulting in decoherence and distortion of quantum correlations. It has been recently shown that a controlled interaction with the environment may actually…
We investigate the modular properties of the characters which appear in the partition functions of nonabelian fractional quantum Hall states. We first give the annulus partition function for nonabelian FQH states formed by spinon and holon…
In this paper, we consider a classical Hamiltonian normal form with degeneracy in normal direction. In previous results, one needs to assume that the perturbation satisfies certain non-degenerate conditions in order to remove the degeneracy…

We calculate the dynamical structure factor of the \nu=5/2 non-abelian quantum Hall state in the dipole approximation, valid for large momenta. Due to the fact that both quasi-particles (qps) and quasi-holes (qhs) have an internal Majorana…

Certain fractional quantum Hall wavefunctions -- particularly including the Laughlin, Moore-Read, and Read-Rezayi wavefunctions -- have special structure that makes them amenable to analysis using an exeptionally wide range of techniques…
The k=3 Read-Rezayi (RR) parafermion quantum Hall state hosts non-Abelian excitations which provide a platform for the universal topological quantum computation. Although the RR state may be realized at the filling factor \nu=12/5 in…
Multilayer fractional quantum Hall wave functions can be used to construct the non-Abelian states of the $\mathbb{Z}_k$ Read-Rezayi series upon symmetrization over the layer index. Unfortunately, this construction does not yield the…
"Topological ordered" phases such as gapped quantum spin-liquids and fractional quantum Hall states possess ground state degeneracy on a torus. We show that the topological nature of this degeneracy has interesting consequences for the…
