The fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effect is a canonical example of electron-electron interactions producing new ground states in many-body systems. Most FQH studies have focused on the lowest Landau level (LL), whose fractional states are…

While the values for the fractional charge and fractional statistics coincide for fractional Hall (FQH) states in the Laughlin sequence, they do not for more general FQH states, such as those in the Jain sequence. This mismatch leads to…

In the search of fractional quantum anomalous Hall (FQAH) effect, the conventional wisdom is to start from a flat Chern band isolated from the rest of the Hilbert space by band gaps, so that many-body interaction can be projected to a…

In two-dimensional (2D) electron systems under strong magnetic fields, interactions can cause fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effects. Bringing two 2D conductors to proximity, a new set of correlated states can emerge due to interactions…

Quantum Hall (QH) interferometry provides an archetypal platform for the experimental realization of braiding statistics of fractional QH states. However, the complexity of observing fractional statistics requires phase coherence over the…
