The fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effect is a canonical example of electron-electron interactions producing new ground states in many-body systems. Most FQH studies have focused on the lowest Landau level (LL), whose fractional states are…

We consider a non-Abelian candidate state at filling factor $\nu=3/7$ state belonging to the parton family. We find that, in the second Landau level of GaAs (i.e. at filling factor $\nu=2+3/7$), this state is energetically superior to the…
