Quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) phase is a two-dimensional bulk ferromagnetic insulator with a nonzero Chern number in presence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) but absence of applied magnetic fields. Associated metallic chiral edge states host…
The observed quantization of the Hall conductivity in graphene at high magnetic fields is explained as being due to the dynamically generated spatial modulation of either the electron spin or the density, as decided by the details of…
The integral and fractional quantum Hall effects are among the most important discoveries in condensed matter physics in 1980s. The main results can be summarized in the conductance matrix. When the filling factor is an integer or some…
While the disorder-induced quantum Hall (QH) effect has been studied previously, the effect ofdisorder potential on microscopic features of the integer QH effect remains unclear, particularly forthe incompressible (IC) strip. In this…
In quantum Hall systems with two narrow constrictions, tunneling between opposite edges can give rise to quantum interference and Aharonov-Bohm-like oscillations of the conductance. When there is an integer quantized Hall state within the…
Inspired by experiments on magic angle twisted bilayer graphene, we present a lattice mean-field model for the quantum anomalous Hall effect in a moir\'e setting. Our hopping model thus provides a simple route to a moir\'e Chern insulator…
We propose a class of variational wave functions with slow variation in spin and charge density and simple vortex structure at infinity, which properly generalize both the Laughlin quasiparticles and baby Skyrmions. We argue that the spin…
We experimentally realize a photonic analogue of the anomalous quantum Hall insulator using a two-dimensional (2D) array of coupled ring resonators. Similar to the Haldane model, our 2D array is translation invariant, has zero net gauge…
We propose an experimentally-feasible system based on spin transitions in the fractional quantum Hall effect regime where parafermions, high-order non-abelian excitations, can be potentially realized. We provide a proof-of-concept…
We survey recent work on designing and evaluating quantum computing implementations based on nuclear or bound-electron spins in semiconductor heterostructures at low temperatures and in high magnetic fields. General overview is followed by…
In this paper we review some connections recently discovered between topological insulators and certain classes of quantum spin liquids, focusing on two and three spatial dimensions. In two dimensions we show the integer quantum Hall effect…
The flow of electric current through a two-dimensional material in a magnetic field gives rise to the family of Hall effects. The quantum versions of these effects accommodate robust electronic edge channels and fractional charges.…
Recent developments in the scaling theory of the integer quantum Hall effect are discussed. In particular, the influence of electron-electron interactions on the critical behavior are studied. It is further argued that recent experiments on…
The anomalous Hall effect is mainly used to probe the magnetization orientation in ferromagnetic materials. A less explored aspect is the torque acting back on magnetization, an effect that can be important at high currents. The spin-orbit…
Two-dimensional quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulators with reasonably wide band gaps are imperative for the development of various innovative technologies. Through systematic density functional calculations and tight-binding simulations, we…
A square lattice model which exhibits a nonzero quantized Hall conductance in a zero net magnetic field at certain values of the parameters is presented. The quantization is due to the existence of a topological winding number that…
By carefully considering a family of wave functions for Skyrmions in simple quantum Hall states, whose members are labelled by a non-negative integer and which properly generalizes the traditional Laughlin quasiparticle, we argue that the…
The charge and spin correlation functions of partially spin-polarized edge electrons of a quantum Hall bar are studied using effective Hamiltonian and bosonization techniques. In the presence of the Coulomb interaction between the edges…
The effects of spin-orbit coupling on the two-electron spectra in lateral coupled quantum dots are investigated analytically and numerically. It is demonstrated that in the absence of magnetic field the exchange interaction is practically…
The integer quantum Hall effect is a topological state of quantum matter in two dimensions, and has recently been observed in three-dimensional topological insulator thin films. Here we study the Landau levels and edge states of surface…
