While standard minimal coupling works well for Dirac fermions, its application to scalar fields features a known ``peculiarity'': the term linear in $A_\mu$ does not coincide with the conserved Noether current of the interacting theory. We…
We study two dimensional electron systems confined in wide quantum wells whose subband separation is comparable with the Zeeman energy. Two N = 0 Landau levels from different subbands and with opposite spins are pinned in energy when they…
When electrons moving in two-dimensions (2D) are subjected to a strong uniform magnetic field, they form flat bands called Landau levels, which are the basis for the quantum Hall effect. Landau levels can also arise from pseudomagnetic…
We propose an operator generalization of the Li-Haldane conjecture regarding the entanglement Hamiltonian of a disk in a 2+1D chiral gapped groundstate. The logic applies to regions with sharp corners, from which we derive several universal…
Scale invariance is considered in the context of a gravitational theory where the action, in the first order formalism, is of the form S = \int L_{1} \Phi d^4x + \int L_{2}\sqrt{-g}d^4x where \Phi is a density built out of degrees of…
We provide evidence of an intermediate Haldane phase in a spin-2 quantum chain. By combining effective field theory and numerical approaches, we show that the phase diagram of the proposed model includes SO(5) Haldane, intermediate Haldane,…
We consider the quantum mechanics of a spinless charged particle on a 2-dimensional sphere. When threaded with a magnetic monopole field, this is the well-known Haldane sphere that furnishes a translationally-invariant, incompressible…
We study the entanglement structure and the topological edge states of the ground state of the spin-1/2 XXZ model with bond alternation. We employ parity-density matrix renormalization group with periodic boundary conditions. The…
Recalling that the rotating wave approximation (RWA) is only valid in the weak coupling regimes, the purpose of this paper is to study the Hamiltonian dynamics describing the full quantum mechanical approach of the interaction between…
We compare the predictions of the fundamentally motivated minimal coupling ($\hat{\boldsymbol{p}}\cdot\hat{\boldsymbol{A}}$) and the ubiquitous dipole coupling ($\hat{\boldsymbol{x}}\cdot\hat{\boldsymbol{E}}$) in the light-matter…
We construct an effective Hamiltonian for electrons in the fractional quantum Hall regime for GaAs and graphene that takes into account Landau level mixing (for both GaAs and graphene) and subband mixing (for GaAs, due to the nonzero width…
We analyze the onset of incommensurabilities around the VBS point of the S=1 bilinear-biquadratic model. We propose a simple effective field theory which is capable of reproducing all known properties of the commensurate-incommensurate…
In this article, we present a systematic study of quantum statistics and dynamics of a pair of anyons in the lowerst Landau level (LLL), of direct relevance to quasiparticle excitations in the quantum Hall bulk. We develop the formalism for…
The Landau level spectra and the quantum Hall effect of ABA-stacked multilayer graphenes are studied in the effective mass approximation. The low-energy effective mass Hamiltonian may be partially diagonalized into an approximate…
Given a direct system of Hilbert spaces $s\mapsto \mathcal H_s$ (with isometric inclusion maps $\iota_s^t:\mathcal H_s\rightarrow \mathcal H_t$ for $s\leq t$) corresponding to quantum systems on scales $s$, we define notions of scale…
We demonstrate the existence of a universal transition from a continuous scale invariant phase to a discrete scale invariant phase for a class of one-dimensional quantum systems with anisotropic scaling symmetry between space and time.…
The Landau problem for inhomogeneous magnetic fields is examined in a very general context and several interesting analogies with the Nielsen-Olesen vortices are established. Firstly we show that the Landau problem with non-homogeneous…
We study a Haldane model with nearest neighbor interactions. We find one-dimensional like collective modes arising due to the interplay of pseudo-spin and valley degrees of freedom. In the large band gap or moderate interaction limit, these…
We investigate the quantum Hall effect in a single Landau level in the presence of a square superlattice of $\delta$-function potentials. The interplay between the superlattice spacing $a_s$ and the magnetic length $\ell_B$ in clean system…
We present a relativistic formulation of the quantum Hall effect on Haldane sphere. An explicit form of the pseudopotential is derived for the relativistic quantum Hall effect with/without mass term. We clarify particular features of the…
