We propose a class of variational wave functions with slow variation in spin and charge density and simple vortex structure at infinity, which properly generalize both the Laughlin quasiparticles and baby Skyrmions. We argue that the spin…
In the conformal field theory (CFT) approach to the quantum Hall effect, the multi-electron wave functions are expressed as correlation functions in certain rational CFTs. While this approach has led to a well-understood description of the…
We present Monte Carlo studies of charge expectation values and charge fluctuations for quasi-particles in the quantum Hall system. We have studied the Laughlin wave functions for quasi-hole and quasi-electron, and also Jain's definition of…
We study the fractional quantum Hall states in the tilted magnetic field. A many-particle wavefunction of the ground state, which is similar to that of Laughlin's, is constructed in the Landau gauge. We show that in the limit of…
We discuss the link between the quasielectron wavefunctions proposed by Laughlin and by Jain and show both analytically and numerically that Laughlin's quasielectron is a non-local composite fermion state. Composite-fermion states are…
Standard bosonization techniques lead to phonon-like excitations in a Luttinger liquid (LL), reflecting the absence of Landau quasiparticles in these systems. Yet in addition to the above excitations some LL are known to possess solitonic…
The tunneling between the Laughlin state and its quasihole excitations are studied by using the Jack polynomial. We find a universal analytical formula for the tunneling amplitude, which can describe both bulk and edge quasihole…
We study the thin torus limit of the Haldane-Rezayi state. Eight of the ten ground states are found to assume a simple product form in this limit, as is known to be the case for many other quantum Hall trial wave functions. The two…
Existing techniques for synthesizing gauge fields are able to bring a two-dimensional cloud of harmonically trapped bosonic atoms into a regime where the occupied single-particle states are restricted to the lowest Landau level (LLL).…
We discuss how the braiding properties of Laughlin quasi-particles in quantum Hall states can be understood within a one-dimensional formalism we proposed earlier. In this formalism the two-dimensional space of the Hall liquid is identified…
In the context of the fractional quantum Hall effect, we investigate Laughlin's celebrated ansatz for the groud state wave function at fractional filling of the lowest Landau level. Interpreting its normalization in terms of a one component…
We show the low-lying excitations at filling factor $\nu=n+1/3$ with realistic interactions are contained completely within the well-defined Hilbert space of "Gaffnian quasiholes". Each Laughlin quasihole can thus be understood as a bound…
We demonstrate the experimental feasibility of incompressible fractional quantum Hall-like states in ultra-cold two dimensional rapidly rotating dipolar Fermi gases. In particular, we argue that the state of the system at filling fraction…
A natural, "perturbative", problem in the modelization of the fractional quantum Hall effect is to minimize a classical energy functional within a variational set based on Laughlin's wave-function. We prove that, for small enough pair…
Laughlin quasiparticles are the elementary excitations of a highly-correlated fractional quantum Hall electron fluid. They have fractional charge and obey fractional statistics. The quasiparticles can propagate quantum-coherently in chiral…
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…
We present explicit wavefunctions for quasi-hole excitations over a variety of non-abelian quantum Hall states: the Read-Rezayi states with k\geq 3 clustering properties and a paired spin-singlet quantum Hall state. Quasi-holes over these…
The Laughlin states for $N$ interacting electrons at the plateaus of the fractional Hall effect are studied in the thermodynamic limit of large $N$. It is shown that this limit leads to the semiclassical regime for these states, thereby…
Trial states describing anyonic quasiholes in the Laughlin state were found early on, and it is therefore natural to expect that one should also be able to create anyonic quasielectrons. Nevertheless, the existing trial wavefunctions for…
We consider fractional quantum Hall states built on Laughlin's original N-body wave-functions, i.e., they are of the form holomorphic times gaussian and vanish when two particles come close, with a given polynomial rate. Such states appear…
