Liquid crystalline defects in 3D can be viewed as geometric spinors, whose emergent properties are reminiscent of those of topological excitations in quantum condensed matter, such as Majorana quasiparticles. However, it is unclear how deep…
We construct effective $\mathrm{U}(2)$ Chern-Simons-Ginzburg-Landau theories for Abelian and non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall hierarchies for those which had previously been described only through categorical data or trial wavefunctions.…
A most interesting feature of certain fractional quantum Hall states is that their quasiparticles obey non-Abelian fractional statistics. So far, candidate non-Abelian wave functions have been constructed from conformal blocks in cleverly…
Using the parton construction, we build a three-dimensional (3D) multilayer fractional quantum Hall state with average filling \nu = 1/3 per layer that is qualitatively distinct from a stacking of weakly coupled Laughlin states. The state…
The quantum-mechanical description of assemblies of particles whose motion is confined to two (or one) spatial dimensions offers many possibilities that are distinct from bosons and fermions. We call such particles anyons. The simplest…
The fractional quantum Hall effect, where plateaus in the Hall resistance at values of coexist with zeros in the longitudinal resistance, results from electron correlations in two dimensions under a strong magnetic field. Current flows…
We study explicit model wave functions describing the fundamental quasiholes in a class of non-abelian fractional quantum Hall states. This class is a family of paired spin-singlet states with $n\geq1$ internal degrees of freedom. We…
It is argued that fractional quantum Hall effect wavefunctions can be interpreted as conformal blocks of two-dimensional conformal field theory. Fractional statistics can be extended to nonabelian statistics and examples can be constructed…
Quasihole excitations in fractional quantum Hall (FQH) systems exhibit fractional statistics and fractional spin, but how the spin-statistics relation emerges from many-body physics remains poorly understood. Here we prove a spin-statistics…
Quasiparticle spin (in the spacetime sense) couples to curvature of space. Here this fact is used to calculate the spin of quasiholes in trial quantum Hall states by adiabatically dragging them around on a sphere, for trial states given by…
After almost half a century of Laughlin's celebrated study of the wavefunctions of integer and fractional quantum Hall effects, there have still existed difficulties to prove whether the given wavefunction can describe gapped phase or not…
We elucidate the geometry of quantum adiabatic evolution. By minimizing the deviation from adiabaticity we find a Riemannian metric tensor underlying adiabatic evolution. Equipped with this tensor, we identify a unified geometric…
We propose a systematical approach to construct generic fractional quantum anomalous Hall (FQAH) states, which are generalizations of the fractional quantum Hall states to lattice models with zero net magnetic field and full lattice…
The geometric aspects of quantum mechanics are underlined most prominently by the concept of geometric phases, which are acquired whenever a quantum system evolves along a closed path in Hilbert space. The geometric phase is determined only…
Non-trivial braid-group representations appear as non-Abelian quantum statistics of emergent Majorana zero modes in one and two-dimensional topological superconductors. Here, we generate such representations with topologically protected…
The question of anyon interactions and their possible binding plays a key role in the physics of fractional quantum Hall states. Here, we introduce a controlled and scalable approach to study anyon binding by working entirely within the…
We study the trapping of Abelian anyons (quasiholes and quasiparticles) by a local potential (e.g., induced by an AFM tip) in a microscopic model of fractional quantum Hall liquids with long-range Coulomb interaction and edge confining…
The fractional quantum Hall effect is the paradigmatic example of topologically ordered phases. One of its most fascinating aspects is the large variety of different topological orders that may be realized, in particular nonabelian ones.…
Intermediate-scale quantum technologies provide new opportunities for scientific discovery, yet they also pose the challenge of identifying suitable problems that can take advantage of such devices in spite of their present-day limitations.…
In the conformal field theory (CFT) approach to the quantum Hall effect, the multi-electron wave functions are expressed as correlation functions in certain rational CFTs. While this approach has led to a well-understood description of the…
