Probing the center-of-mass of an ultracold atomic cloud can be used to measure Chern numbers, the topological invariants underlying the quantum Hall effects. In this work, we show how such center-of-mass observables can have a much richer…
The fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effect gives rise to abundant topological phases, presenting an ultimate platform for studying the transport of edge states. Generic FQH edge contains multiple edge modes, commonly including the…
Here we conjecture on a topological model based on the M\"obius strip derived from the current distribution at the plateaus of the Quantum Hall Effect (QHE). It can account for the fractional values of the QHE in an easy way.
The quantum Hall effect in a 2D electron system expresses a topological invariant, leading to a quantized conductivity. The thermal Hall and thermoelectric Nernst conductances in two dimensions are also reported to be quantized in specific…
Motivated by the observation of the fractional quantum Hall effect in graphene, we consider the effective field theory of relativistic quantum Hall states. We find that, beside the Chern-Simons term, the effective action also contains a…
We present a mathematically simple procedure for explaining and visualizing the dynamics of quantized transport in topological insulators. The procedure serves to illustrate and clarify the dynamics of topological transport in general, but…
The quantum Hall effect (QHE) with quantized Hall resistance of h/{\nu}e2 starts the research on topological quantum states and lays the foundation of topology in physics. Afterwards, Haldane proposed the QHE without Landau levels, showing…
Strongly correlated fractional quantum Hall liquids support fractional excitations, which can be understood in terms of adiabatic flux insertion arguments. A second route to fractionalization is through the coupling of weakly interacting…
The mutual interplay between electron transport and magnetism has attracted considerable attention in recent years, primarily motivated by strategies to manipulate magnetic degrees of freedom electrically, such as spin-orbit torques and…
We explore the robustness of Hall conductivity quantization in several insulating systems, exhibiting one scenario where the quantization is not preserved. Specifically, we apply the Kubo formula to topological models with the…
The purpose of these lectures is to describe the basic theoretical structures underlying the rich and beautiful physics of the quantum Hall effect. The focus is on the interplay between microscopic wavefunctions, long-distance effective…
The Bott index of two unitary operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space is defined. homotopic invariance with respect to multiplicative unitary perturbations of the type identity plus trace class and the "logarithmic" law for the…
The discovery of the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators more than a decade ago has revolutionized modern condensed matter physics. Today, the field of topological states of matter is one of the most active and fruitful…
The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) is a fundamental quantum transport phenomenon that manifests as a quantized transverse conductance in response to a longitudinally applied electric field in the absence of an external magnetic field,…
The discovery of topological states of matter has profoundly augmented our understanding of phase transitions in physical systems. Instead of local order parameters, topological phases are described by global topological invariants and are…
The Quantum Hall Effect for free electrons in external periodic field is discussed without using the linear response approximation. We find that the Hall conductivity is related in a simple way to Floquet energies (associated to the…
In topological insulators, spin-orbit coupling and time-reversal symmetry combine to form a novel state of matter predicted to have exotic physical properties.
The observed robustly quantized Hall conductance in quantum Hall systems and Chern insulators (CI) have so far been understood in terms of the topology of isolated systems, which are not coupled to leads. It is assumed that the leads act as…
Over a long period of exploration, the successful observation of quantized version of anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in thin film of magnetically-doped topological insulator completed a quantum Hall trio---quantum Hall effect (QHE), quantum…
We theoretically examine the use of a statistical distance measure, the indistinguishability, as a generic tool for the identification of topological order. We apply this measure to the toric code and two fractional quantum Hall models. We…
