Using projective construction, a generalized parton construction, we construct many non-Abelian quantum Hall (QH) states, which include the Pfaffian state at filling fraction $\nu=1/2$. The projective construction allows us to calculate the…
Bilayer quantum Hall system (BLQH) differ from its single layer counterparts (SLQH) by its symmetry breaking ground state and associated neutral gapless mode in the pseudo-spin sector. Due to the gapless mode, qualitatively good groundstate…

We numerically assess model wave functions for the recently proposed particle-hole-symmetric Pfaffian (`PH-Pfaffian') topological order, a phase consistent with the recently reported thermal Hall conductance [Banerjee et al., Nature 559,…
We demonstrate numerically that non-Abelian quasihole excitations of the $\nu = 5/2$ fractional quantum Hall state have some of the key properties necessary to support quantum computation. We find that as the quasihole spacing is increased,…

In this letter, we discuss the recently proposed fractional quantum Hall effect in the absence of Landau levels. It is shown that the parton construction can explain all properties of 1/3 state, including the effective charge of…
At even-denominator Landau level filling fractions, such as $\nu=1/2$, the ground state, in most cases, has no energy gap, and there is no quantized plateau in the Hall conductance. Nevertheless, the states exhibit non-trivial low-energy…

In Quantum Hall effect the ground state wave function at $\nu=1$ is the building block of all other states at different filling factors. It is developed by the entanglement of two spinors forming a singlet state. The inherent frustration…
