We provide numerical evidence for composite fermion pairing in quantum Hall bilayer systems at filling $\nu=1/2 + 1/2$ for intermediate spacing between the layers. We identify the phase as $p_x + i p_y$ pairing, and construct high accuracy…

We consider the effect of contact interaction in a prototypical quantum spin Hall system of pseudo-spin-1/2 particles. A strong effective magnetic field with opposite directions for the two spin states restricts two-dimensional particle…

From the analysis of their interaction pseudopotentials, it is argued that (at certain filling factors) Laughlin quasiparticles can form pairs. It is further proposed that such pairs could have Laughlin correlations with one another and…

We consider quantum Hall states at even-denominator filling fractions, especially $\nu=5/2$, in the limit of small Zeeman energy. Assuming that a paired quantum Hall state forms, we study spin ordering and its interplay with pairing. We…

We consider the tunneling current through a double point-contact Fabry-Perot interferometer such as used in recent experimental studies of the fractional quantum Hall plateau at filling fraction nu=5/2. We compare the predictions of several…

We present a detailed analysis of finite frequency noise for the $\nu=5/2$ fractional quantum Hall state in a quantum point contact geometry. The results are obtained within the Pfaffian and anti-Pfaffian models. We show that the behaviour…
