Fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states have recently been observed at unexpected values of the filling factor nu. Here we interpret these states as a novel family of FQH states involving pairing correlations rather than Laughlin correlations…

Relativistic quantum field theory (QFT) is commonly formulated in terms of operators, asymptotic states, and covariant amplitudes, a perspective that tends to obscure the real-time origin of field dynamics and correlations. Here we…
We consider the multiple edge states of the Laughlin state and the Pfaffian state. These edge states are globally constrained through the operator algebra of conformal field theory in the bulk. We analyze these constraints by introducing an…
