We numerically assess model wave functions for the recently proposed particle-hole-symmetric Pfaffian (`PH-Pfaffian') topological order, a phase consistent with the recently reported thermal Hall conductance [Banerjee et al., Nature 559,…

On the basis of Chern-Simons field-theoretical description we propose a simple method for derivation of model interactions for Pfaffian paired states. We verify the method in the case of Pfaffian (i.e. Moore - Read) state, and derive a…

The Pfaffian phase of electrons in the proximity of a half-filled Landau level is understood to be a p+ip superconductor of composite fermions. We consider the properties of this paired quantum Hall phase when the pairing scale is small,…

We predict that an incompressible fractional quantum Hall state is likely to form at $\nu=3/8$ as a result of a chiral p-wave pairing of fully spin polarized composite fermions carrying four quantized vortices, and that the pairing is of…

We perform numerical studies to determine if the fractional quantum Hall state observed at filling nu=5/2 is the Moore-Read wavefunction or its particle hole conjugate, the so-called AntiPfaffian. Using a truncated Hilbert space approach we…
