We perform shell model calculations using a quadrupole-quadrupole interaction (Q.Q) in single a j shell space. We show that this one-parameter interaction is a good predictor of where nuclear isomerism occurs and where it does not occur.…
We investigate the way that the degenerate manifold of midgap edge states in quasicircular graphene quantum dots with zig-zag boundaries supports, under free-magnetic-field conditions, strongly correlated many-body behavior analogous to the…
We develop a nonperturbative approach to the quantum Hall bilayer (QHB) at \nu=1 using trial wave functions. We predict phases of the QHB for arbitrary distance d and, our approach, in a dual picture, naturally introduces a new kind of…
It has been recently realized that strong interactions in topological Bloch bands give rise to the appearance of novel states of matter. Here we study connections between these systems -- fractional Chern insulators and the fractional…
Starting from Halperin multilayer systems we develop a hierarchical scheme that generates, bosonic and fermionic, single-layer quantum Hall states (or vacua) of arbitrary filling factor. Our scheme allows for the insertion of quasiparticle…

The quasi-quantized Hall effect (QQHE) is the three-dimensional (3D) counterpart of the integer quantum Hall effect (QHE),exhibited only by two-dimensional (2D) electron systems. It has recently been observed in layered materials,…
We study equilibration of quantum Hall edge states at integer filling factors, motivated by experiments involving point contacts at finite bias. Idealising the experimental situation and extending the notion of a quantum quench, we consider…
Composite fermions (CFs) of the fractional quantum Hall effect are described as spherical products of electron and vortex spinors, built from underlying L=1/2 ladder operators aligned so that the spinor angular momenta Le and Lv are…
Quantum link models (QLMs) are generalizations of Wilson's lattice gauge theory formulated with finite-dimensional link Hilbert spaces. In certain cases, the non-Abelian Gauss Law constraint can be exactly solved, and the gauge invariant…
In a twisted graphene on hexagonal Boron Nitride, the presence of a gap and the breaking of the symmetry between carbon sublattices leads to multicomponent fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) due to the electrons correlation. We report on…
The physics of the fractional quantum Hall effect is the physics of interacting electrons confined to a macroscopically degenerate Landau level. In this Chapter we discuss the theory of the quantum Hall effect in systems where the electrons…
The past few years have produced major advances in our understanding of the quantum Hall effects---quantized and unquantized. Theories based on a mathematical transformation, where the electrons are replaced by a set of fermions interacting…
Model lattices such as the kagome and Lieb lattices have been widely investigated to elucidate the properties of interacting flat-band systems. While a quasicrystal does not have proper bands, the non-interacting density of states of…

Since the ground-breaking discovery of the quantum Hall effect, half-quantized quantum Hall plateaus have been some of the most studied and sought-after states. Their importance stems not only from the fact that they transcend the composite…
Electron pairing is a rare phenomenon appearing only in a few unique physical systems; e.g., superconductors and Kondo-correlated quantum dots. Here, we report on an unexpected, but robust, electron "pairing" in the integer quantum Hall…
