We introduce a broad class of simple models for quantum Hall states based on the expansion of their parent Hamiltonians near the one-dimensional limit of "thin cylinders", i.e. when one dimension $L_y$ of the Hall surface becomes comparable…
We study the entanglement properties of two-spin subsystems in spin-singlet states. The average entanglement between two spins is maximized in a single valence-bond (VB) state. On the other hand, $E_v^2$ (the average entanglement between a…
