We present a robust scheme by which fractional quantum Hall states of bosons can be achieved for ultracold atomic gases. We describe a new form of optical flux lattice, suitable for commonly used atomic species with groundstate angular…
We study the equilibrium statistical mechanics of classical two-dimensional Coulomb systems living on a pseudosphere (an infinite surface of constant negative curvature). The Coulomb potential created by one point charge exists and goes to…
We analyze the effect that the Coulomb interaction has on the edge excitations of an electron gas confined in a bar of thickness $W$, and in presence of a magnetic field corresponding to filling factor 1 Quantum Hall effect. We find that…
We study the consequences of Coulomb interactions on a system undergoing a putative first order phase transition. In two dimensions (2D), near the critical density, the system is universally unstable to the formation of new intermediate…
Passive states of quantum systems are states from which no system energy can be extracted by any cyclic (unitary) process. Gibbs states of all temperatures are passive. Strong local (SL) passive states are defined to allow any general…
We consider many-body quantum systems on a finite lattice, where the Hilbert space is the tensor product of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces associated with each site, and where the Hamiltonian of the system is a sum of local terms. We are…
We demonstrate that the widely used plasma analogy is unreliable at predicting edge properties of quantum Hall states. This discrepancy arises from a fundamental difference between quantum Hall droplets and plasmas (Coulomb gases): the…
Lieb and Oxford (1981) derived rigorous lower bounds, in the form of local functionals of the electron density, on the indirect part of the Coulomb repulsion energy. The greatest lower bound for a given electron number N depends…
Laughlin's thought experiment of quantized charge pumping is central to understanding the integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) and the topological origin of its conductance quantization. Its direct experimental observation, however, has been…
We consider ground states of the $N$ coupled fermionic nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger systems with the Coulomb potential $V(x)$ in the $L^2$-subcritical case. By studying the associated constraint variational problem, we prove the existence of…
Finite coherent quantum systems exhibit a nontrivial response to local sources of phase curvature, which cannot be reduced to conventional forces, disorder-induced localization, or simple gap opening. Here we show that, in finite fermionic…
In the context of f(R) theories of gravity, we study the cosmological evolution of scalar perturbations by using a completely general procedure. We find that the exact fourth-order differential equation for the matter density perturbations…
Fractional quantum Hall states are promising platforms for topological quantum computation due to their capacity to encode quantum information in topologically degenerate ground states and in the fusion space of non-abelian anyons. We…
We present a novel matrix product representation of the Laughlin and related fractional quantum Hall wavefunctions based on a rigorous version of the correlators of a chiral quantum field theory. This representation enables the quantitative…
We apply Laughlin's gauge argument to analyze the $\nu=0$ quantum Hall effect observed in graphene when the Fermi energy lies near the Dirac point, and conclude that this necessarily leads to divergent bulk longitudinal resistivity in the…
Advancing a microscopic framework that rigorously unveils the underlying topological hallmarks of fractional quantum Hall (FQH) fluids is a prerequisite for making progress in the classification of strongly-coupled topological matter. Here…
We investigate the nature of the plasma analogy for the Laughlin wave function on a torus describing the quantum Hall plateau at $\nu=\frac{1}{q}$. We first establish, as expected, that the plasma is screening if there are no short…
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 show that different universal values can be obtained for the two-terminal conductance of a fractional quantum Hall state. At large voltages, or strong coupling, the conductance of a point-like tunneling junction between an electron gas…
We analyse the inner products of edge state wavefunctions in the fractional quantum Hall effect, specifically for the Laughlin and Moore-Read states. We use an effective description for these inner products given by a large-$N$ expansion…
