We analyze density profiles for atomic quantum Hall states, which are expected to form in systems of rotating cold atoms in the high-rotation limit. For a two-dimensional (single-layer) system we predict a density landscape showing plateaus…

Exploring a backgated low density two-dimensional hole sample in the large $r_s$ regime we found a surprisingly rich phase diagram. At the highest densities, beside the $\nu=1/3$, 2/3, and 2/5 fractional quantum Hall states, we observe both…

At low temperatures the phase diagram for the quantum Hall effect has a powerful symmetry arising from the Law of Corresponding States. This symmetry gives rise to an infinite order discrete group which is a generalisation of…
The incommensurate phase of a bilayer quantum Hall state is found to have a ``rippled'' dipole charge density whenever the layers are unbalanced. This tunable dipole-density-wave instability could be detected by sensitive capacitance…
