We develop a theory of a direct, continuous quantum phase transition between a bosonic Laughlin fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state and a superfluid, generalizing the Mott insulator to superfluid phase diagram of bosons to allow for the…

We investigate non-perturbative features of a planar Chern-Simons gauge theory modeling the long distance physics of quantum Hall systems, including a finite gap M for excitations. By formulating the model on a lattice, we identify the…

We examine the magnetic field driven insulator-quantum Hall-insulator transitions of the two dimensional hole gas in a Ge/SiGe quantum well. We observe direct transitions between low and high magnetic field insulators and the $\nu=1$…

We investigate a transition between a two-dimensional topological insulator conduction state, characterized by a conductance $G=2$ (in fundamental units $e^2/h$) and a Chern insulator with $G=1$, induced by polarized magnetic impurities.…

We present a magnetization measurement probing the transition from a quantum Hall to insulating (QH-I) state for a two-dimensional electron gas in a disordered GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. Using a highly sensitive DC torque magnetometer, we…

We study the effects of thermal fluctuations of gluons and the diquark pairing field on the superconducting-to-normal state phase transition in a three-flavor color superconductor, using the Ginzburg-Landau free energy. At high baryon…

The transition from the quantum Hall state to the insulator is considered for non-interacting electrons in a two-dimensional disordered lattice model with perpendicular magnetic field. Using correlated random disorder potentials the…

We have performed low-temperature transport measurements on a GaAs two-dimensional electron system at low magnetic fields. Multiple temperature-independent points and accompanying oscillations are observed in the longitudinal resistivity…

The disorder driven quantum Hall to insulator transition is investigated for a two-dimensional lattice model. The Hall conductivity and the localization length are calculated numerically near the transition. For uncorrelated and weakly…

We study the nu=1/3 quantum Hall state in presence of the random disorder. We calculate the topologically invariant Chern number, which is the only quantity known at present to unambiguously distinguish between insulating and current…

We investigate the influence of quantum fluctuations in a chiral cavity on the quantum Hall (QH) state, extending previous studies of QH liquids in linearly polarized cavities. Using the Schrieffer-Wolff transformation for perturbative…

The quantum Hall effect was originally observed in a two-dimensional electron gas forming Landau levels when exposed to a strong perpendicular magnetic field and was later generalized to Chern insulators without net magnetization. Here,…

Type-I color superconductors display a first-order phase transition due to thermal gauge-field fluctuations. We numerically evaluated the critical temperature of the first-order phase transition and the corresponding discontinuity of the…

Recent experimental studies on strongly disordered indium oxide films have revealed an unusual first-order quantum phase transition between the superconducting and insulating states (SIT). This transition is characterized by a discontinuous…

For more than a decade it was widely accepted that two-dimensional electrons are insulating at zero temperature and at zero magnetic-field. Experimentally it was demonstrated that, when placed in a strong perpendicular magnetic field, the…

We investigate the origin of the resistance fluctuations of mesoscopic samples, near transitions between Quantum Hall plateaus. These fluctuations have been recently observed experimentally by E. Peled et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 246802…

The effects of randomness are investigated in the fractional quantum Hall systems. Based on the Chern-Simons Ginzburg-Landou theory and considering relevant quasi-particle tunneling, the edge state network model for the hierarchical state…

We consider the injection of a controlled charge from a normal metal into an edge state of the fractional quantum Hall effect, with a time-dependent voltage $V(t)$. Using perturbative calculations in the tunneling limit, and a chiral…

A gauge invariant quantum field theory with a spacetime dependent Chern-Simons coefficient is studied. Using a constraint formalism together with the Schwinger action principle it is shown that non-zero gradients in the coefficient induce…

We present a new theoretical approach for the integer quantum Hall effect, which is able to describe the inter-plateau transitions as well as the transition to the Hall insulator. We find two regimes (metallic and insulator like) of the top…
