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…
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,…
We present a method for the exact construction of the fully particle-hole symmetric PH-Pfaffian ground state and its charged excitations on a sphere. We adopt the Moore-Read state, but with a nonholomorphic pairing component as in previous…
We discuss the implications of approximate particle-hole symmetry in a half-filled Landau level in which a paired quantum Hall state forms. We note that the Pfaffian state is not particle-hole symmetric. Therefore, in the limit of vanishing…
In this work we propose a parton state as a candidate state to describe the fractional quantum Hall effect in the half-filled second Landau level. The wave function for this parton state is $\mathcal{P}_{\rm LLL}…
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…
We report on the study of the fractional quantum Hall effect at the filling factor 5/2 using exact diagonalization method with torus geometry. The particle-hole symmetry breaking effect is considered using an additional three-body…
An important development in the field of the fractional quantum Hall effect has been the proposal that the 5/2 state observed in the Landau level with orbital index $n = 1$ of two dimensional electrons in a GaAs quantum well originates from…
We consider the properties of the Moore-Read Pfaffian state under particle-hole conjugation. We show that the particle-hole conjugate of the Pfaffian state - or "anti-Pfaffian" state - is in a different universality class from the Pfaffian…
Although numerical studies modeling the quantum hall effect at filling fraction $5/2$ predict either the Pfaffian (Pf) or its particle hole conjugate, the anti-Pfaffian (aPf) state, recent experiments appear to favor a quantized thermal…
In this review the physics of Pfaffian paired states, in the context of fractional quantum Hall effect, is discussed using field-theoretical approaches. The Pfaffian states are prime examples of topological ($p$-wave) Cooper pairing and are…
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…
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 $\nu = 5/2$…
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…
We present a comprehensive numerical study of a microscopic model of the fractional quantum Hall system at filling fraction $\nu = 5/2$, based on the disc geometry. Our model includes Coulomb interaction and a semi-realistic confining…
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,…
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…
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…
In search of states with non-Abelian statistics, we explore the fractional quantum Hall effect in a system of two-dimensional charge carrier holes. We propose a new method of mapping states of holes confined to a finite width quantum well…
We study the nature of the \nu=5/2 quantum Hall state in wide quantum wells under the mixing of electronic subbands and Landau levels. We introduce a general method to analyze the Moore-Read Pfaffian state and its particle-hole conjugate,…
