The quantum Hall states at filling factors $\nu=5/2$ and $7/2$ are expected to have Abelian charge $e/2$ quasiparticles and non-Abelian charge $e/4$ quasiparticles. The non-Abelian statistics of the latter has been predicted to display a…

We examine the quantum phase diagram of the fractional quantum Hall effect in the lowest Landau level in half-filled bilayer structures as a function of tunneling strength and layer separation. Using numerical exact diagonalization we…
We study a model fractional quantum Hall (FQH) wavefunction called the Gaffnian state, which is believed to represent a gapless, strongly correlated state that is very different from conventional metals. To understand this exotic gapless…
We discuss the emergence of non-Abelian zero modes from twist defects in Abelian topological phases. We consider a setup built from a fractional quantum Hall (or a fractional Chern insulator)-superconductor heterostructure, which…
The nature of the fractional quantum Hall state at quarter filling in a wide quantum well is still under debate. Both one-component non-Abelian and two-component Abelian orders have been proposed to describe the system. Interestingly, these…
We show that non-abelian quantum statistics can be studied using certain topological invariants which are the homology groups of configuration spaces. In particular, we formulate a general framework for describing quantum statistics of…
Let $m$ denote the number of quasielectrons (QEs) in a quantum Hall system containing $N$ particles altogether. We show in several general cases that for systems containing $m$ QEs in a single angular momentum shell above $N-m$ Fermions in…
We propose a scheme to realize the fractional quantum Hall system with atoms confined in a two-dimensional array of coupled cavities. Our scheme is based on simple optical manipulation of atomic internal states and inter-cavity hopping of…
Since the ground-breaking discovery of the quantum Hall effect, half-quantized quantum Hall plateaus have been some of the most studied and sought-after states. Their importance stems not only from the fact that they transcend the composite…
We compute the tunneling current in a double point contact geometry of a Quantum Hall system at filling fraction $\nu=5/2$, as function of voltage and temeprature, in the weak tunneling regime. We quantitatively compare two possible…
Given an abelian category and a stability condition satisfying appropriate conditions, we define generalized $K$-theoretic invariants and prove that they satisfy wall-crossing formulas. For this, we introduce a new associative algebra…
The low energy physics of the fractional Hall liquid is described in terms quasiparticles that are qualitatively distinct from electrons. We show, however, that a long-lived electron-like quasiparticle also exists in the excitation…
We present a particle-hole symmetric theory for a two-dimensional electron gas at filling factor one half. In this theory, elementary excitations are dipole-like fermions floating on top of the $\nu=1/2$ boson quantum Hall liquid. In the…
We propose noise oscillation measurements in a double point contact, accessible with current technology, to seek for a signature of the non-abelian nature of the \nu=5/2 quantum Hall state. Calculating the voltage and temperature dependence…
We propose a matrix model to describe a class of fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states for a system of (N_1+N_2) electrons with filling factor more general than in the Laughlin case. Our model, which is developed for FQH states with filling…
We propose a pair of the complex Berry curvatures associated with the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian and its Hermitian adjoint to reveal new physics in non-Hermitian systems. We give the complex Berry curvature and Berry phase for the…
The modelling of electrical connections of single, or several, multiterminal quantum Hall effect (QHE) devices is relevant for electrical metrology: it is known, in fact, that certain particular connections allow i) the realization of…
Fractionally charged quasiparticles in the quantum Hall state with filling factor $\nu=5/2$ are expected to obey non-Abelian statistics. We demonstrate that their statistics can be probed by transport measurements in an electronic…
We briefly review these low-energy effective theories for the quantum Hall effect, with emphasis and language familiar to field theorists. Two models have been proposed for describing the most stable Hall plateaus (the Jain series): the…
