Fractional quantum Hall (FQH) system at Landau level filling fraction $\nu=5/2$ has long been suggested to be non-Abelian, either Pfaffian (Pf) or antiPfaffian (APf) states by numerical studies, both with quantized Hall conductance…
Motivated by the experimental observation of a quantized 5/2 thermal conductance at filling $\nu=5/2$, a result incompatible with both the Pfaffian and the Antipfaffian states, we have pushed the expansion of the effective Hamiltonian of…
Quantum Hall states - the progenitors of the growing family of topological insulators -- are rich source of exotic quantum phases. The nature of these states is reflected in the gapless edge modes, which in turn can be classified as integer…
A recent thermal Hall conductance experiment [Banerjee et al., Nature {\bf559}, 205 (2018)] for $\nu = 5/2$ fractional quantum Hall system appears to rule out both the Pfaffian and anti-Pfaffian and be in favor of the PH-Pfaffian…
The fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effect at the filling number $\nu=5/2$ is a primary candidate for non-Abelian topological order, while the fate of such a state in the presence of random disorder has not been resolved. Here, we address…
Numerical results suggest that the quantum Hall effect at {\nu} = 5/2 is described by the Pfaffian or anti-Pfaffian state in the absence of disorder and Landau level mixing. Those states are incompatible with the observed transport…
A successful probing of neutral Majorana mode in recent thermal Hall conductivity measurements opines in favor of the particle-hole symmetric Pfaffian (PH-Pf) topological order, contrasting the theoretical predictions of Pfaffian or…
The even denominator fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states $\nu=5/2$ and $\nu=7/2$ have been long predicted to host non-abelian quasiparticles (QPs). Their present energy-carrying neutral modes are hidden from customary conductance…
Recent thermal Hall experiment pumped new energy into the problem of $\nu=5/2$ quantum Hall effect, which motivated novel interpretations based on formation of mesoscopic puddles made of Pfaffian and anti-Pfaffian topological orders. Here,…
The PH-Pfaffian topological order has been proposed as a candidate order for the $\nu=5/2$ quantum Hall effect. The PH-Pfaffian liquid is known to be the ground state in several coupled wire and coupled stripe constructions. No…
The thermal Hall conductance $K$ of the fractional quantum Hall state at filling fraction $\nu=5/2$ has recently been measured to be $K=2.5 \pi^2k_B^2T/3h$ [M. Banerjee et al., Nature ${\bf 559}$, 205 (2018)]. The half-integer value of this…
We numerically assess model wave functions for the recently proposed particle-hole-symmetric Pfaffian (`PH-Pfaffian') topological order, a phase consistent with the recently reported thermal Hall conductance [Banerjee et al., Nature 559,…
Topological states of matter are characterized by topological invariant, which are physical quantities whose values are quantized and do not depend on details of the measured system. Of these, the easiest to probe in experiments is the…
Interesting non-Abelian states, e.g., the Moore-Read Pfaffian and the anti-Pfaffian, offer candidate descriptions of the $\nu = 5/2$ fractional quantum Hall state. But the significant controversy surrounding the nature of the $\nu = 5/2$…
Since the charged mode is much faster than the neutral modes on quantum Hall edges at large filling factors, the edge may remain out of equilibrium in thermal conductance experiments. This sheds light on the observed imperfect quantization…
In several recent works it has been proposed that, due to disorder, the experimentally observed nu=5/2 quantum Hall state could be microscopically composed of domains of Pfaffian order along with domains of AntiPfaffian order. We…
The recent measurement of a half-integer thermal conductance for the $\nu=5/2$ fractional quantum Hall state has confirmed its non-Abelian nature, making the question of the underlying topological order highly intriguing. We analyze the…
Despite recent experimental developments, the topological order of the fractional quantum Hall state at filling $\nu=5/2$ remains an outstanding question. We study conductance and shot noise in a quantum point contact device in the…
The PH-Pfaffian state having 1/2 central charge is consistent with the thermal Hall conductance measurement of 5/2 fractional quantum Hall system, but lacks support from the existing numerical results. In this paper we propose a new state…
The half-quantized Hall phase represents a unique metallic or semi-metallic state of matter characterized by a fractional quantum Hall conductance, precisely half of an integer $\nu$ multiple of $e^{2}/h$. Here we demonstrate the existence…
