We propose a derivative operator formed as a function of derivatives of the electron coordinates. When the derivative operator is applied to the Laughlin wave function, two new wave functions in the lowest Landau level at filling factor 1/2…

Excitation spectrum of a half-quantum vortex in a p-wave superconductor contains a zero-energy Majorana fermion. This results in a degeneracy of the ground state of the system of several vortices. From the properties of the solutions to…

We study the minimal excitations of fractional quantum Hall edges, extending the notion of levitons to interacting systems. Using both perturbative and exact calculations, we show that they arise in response to a Lorentzian potential with…

We describe solvable models that capture how impurity scattering in certain fractional quantum Hall edges can give rise to a neutral mode --- i.e. an edge mode that does not carry electric charge. These models consist of two…

The effect of decoherence on topological order (TO) has been most deeply understood for the toric code, the paragon of Abelian TOs. We show that certain non-Abelian TOs can be analyzed and understood to a similar degree, despite being…

A two-dimensional lattice hard-core boson system with a small fraction of bosonic or fermionic impurity particles is studied. The impurities have the same hopping and interactions as the dominant bosons and their effects are solely due to…

Quantum impurities interacting with quantum environments offer unique insights into many-body systems. Here, we explore the thermometric potential of a neutral impurity immersed in a harmonically trapped bosonic quantum gas below the…

We investigate the in- and out-of-equilibrium phenomena of a rotational impurity -- specifically, a linear molecule -- coupled to a nonconventional environment, a helium nanodroplet. By employing a Lee-Low-Pines-like transformation combined…

The impurity Green's function Gf in the local non-Fermi liquid state is evaluated by means of the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method extended to the multichannel Anderson model. For N=M (where N and M are numbers of spin components…

Polaron quasiparticles are formed when a mobile impurity is coupled to the elementary excitations of a many-particle background. In the field of ultracold atoms, the study of the associated impurity problem has attracted a growing interest…

Quasiparticles are emergent excitations of matter that underlie much of our understanding of quantum many-body systems. Therefore, the prospect of manipulating their properties with external fields -- or even destroying them -- has both…

We overview the main features of mobile impurities moving in one-dimensional superfluid backgrounds by modeling it as a mobile Josephson junction, which leads naturally to the periodic dispersion of the impurity. The dissipation processes,…

Laughlin's wave functions, describing the fractional quantum Hall effect at filling factors $\nu=1/(2k+1)$, can be obtained as correlation functions in conformal field theory, and recently this construction was extended to Jain's composite…

We show the low-lying excitations at filling factor $\nu=n+1/3$ with realistic interactions are contained completely within the well-defined Hilbert space of "Gaffnian quasiholes". Each Laughlin quasihole can thus be understood as a bound…

Advancing a microscopic framework that rigorously unveils the underlying topological hallmarks of fractional quantum Hall (FQH) fluids is a prerequisite for making progress in the classification of strongly-coupled topological matter. Here…

We investigate the properties of an impurity immersed in a dilute Bose gas at zero temperature using quantum Monte-Carlo methods. The interactions between bosons are modeled by a hard sphere potential with scattering length $a$, whereas the…

We propose several experiments to test the non-abelian nature of quasi-particles in the fractional quantum Hall state of \nu=5/2. One set of experiments studies interference contribution to back-scattering of current, and is a simplified…

The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) in the second Landau level (SLL) likely stabilizes non-Abelian topological orders. Recently, a parton sequence has been proposed to capture many of the fractions observed in the SLL [Ajit C. Balram,…

The degeneracy of energy levels in a quantum dot of Hall fluid, leading to conductance peaks, can be readily derived from the partition functions of conformal field theory. Their complete expressions can be found for Hall states with both…

We analyze the Moore-Read Pfaffian state on a thin torus. The known six-fold degeneracy is realized by two inequivalent crystalline states with a four- and two-fold degeneracy respectively. The fundamental quasihole and quasiparticle…
