We study the ground state and low-energy excitations of fractional quantum Hall systems on a disk at filling fraction $\nu = 5/2$, with Coulomb interaction and background confining potential. We find the Moore-Read ground state is stable…
Two- and three-body correlations of incompressible quantum liquids are studied numerically. Pairing of composite fermions (CFs) in the 1/3-filled second CF Landau level is found at nu_e=4/11. It is explained by reduced short-range repulsion…
We consider the two lowest Landau levels at half filling. In the higher Landau level (nu =5/2), we find a first order phase transition separating a compressible striped phase from a paired quantum Hall state, which is identified as the…
Quasiparticles, which obey non abelian statistics, were predicted to exist in different physical systems, but are yet to be observed directly. Possible candidate states, which are expected to support such quasiparticles, are the {\nu}=8/3,…
The form of electron correlations in a partially filled degenerate Landau level (LL) is related to the behavior of the anharmonic part of the interaction pseudopotential. Unlike in the lowest LL, the pseudopotential in the first excited LL…
The quantum dynamics of the intrinsic metric profoundly influence the neutral excitations in the fractional quantum Hall system, as established by Haldane in 2011 \cite{Haldane2011}, and further evidenced by a recent two-photon experiment…
We construct a wavefunction, generalizing the well known Moore-Read Pfaffian, that describes spinless electrons at filling fraction nu=2/5 (or bosons at filling fraction nu=2/3) as the ground state of a very simple three body potential. We…
We study a rapidly rotating gas of unpolarized spin-1/2 ultracold fermions in the two-dimensional regime when all atoms reside in the lowest Landau level. Due to the presence of the spin degree of freedom both s-wave and p-wave interactions…
The low-lying neutral excitation spectrum of the incompressible quantum Hall fluid at $\nu=5/2$ is investigated by inelastic light scattering. Gapped modes are observable only in a very narrow filling factor range centered at 5/2 at…
In the quantum Hall effect regime, taking place in a two-dimensional-electron gas under strong magnetic field, currents flow along the edges of the sample. For some particle-hole conjugate states of the fractional regime, e.g., with filling…
States of matter with a sharp Fermi-surface but no well-defined Landau quasiparticles arise in a number of physical systems. Examples include: ${\it (i)}$ quantum critical points associated with the onset of order in metals; ${\it (ii)}$…
We report the observation of a new fractional quantum Hall state in the second Landau level of a two-dimensional electron gas at the Landau level filling factor $\nu=2+6/13$. We find that the model of noninteracting composite fermions can…
We present a comprehensive numerical study of a microscopic model of the fractional quantum Hall system at filling fraction $\nu = 5/2$, based on the disc geometry. Our model includes Coulomb interaction and a semi-realistic confining…
Excitation modes in the range $2/5 \geq \nu \geq 1/3$ of the fractional quantum Hall regime are observed by resonant inelastic light scattering. Spectra of spin reversed excitations suggest a structure of lowest spin-split Landau levels of…
Results from exact diagonalization show that the spin-polarized Coulomb ground state at nu=5/2 is adiabatically connected with the Moore-Read wave function for systems with up to Nel = 16 electrons on the surface of a sphere. Varying the…
We present a particle-hole symmetric theory for a two-dimensional electron gas at filling factor one half. In this theory, elementary excitations are dipole-like fermions floating on top of the $\nu=1/2$ boson quantum Hall liquid. In the…
We consider the problem of Bosonic particles interacting repulsively in a strong magnetic field at the filling factor $\nu=1$. We project the system in the Lowest Landau Level and set up a formalism to map the dynamics into an interacting…
We apply the diagram-technique formalism beyond the Hartree-Fock approximation to a two-dimensional nearly ideal electron gas in a weak perpendicular magnetic field. The case of an almost completely filled upper Landau level (filling factor…
Two- and three-body correlations in partially filled degenerate fermion shells are studied numerically for various interactions between the particles. Three distinct correlation regimes are defined, depending on the short-range behavior of…
We present a set of explicit trial wavefunctions for the filling factors \nu=n/(2n\pm 1) and \nu=1/2 in the symmetric gauge. We show that the zeroes of the wavefunction, except those dictated by the Fermi statistics, are detached from the…
