Real-space entanglement spectra of parton states in fractional quantum Hall systems

Abhishek Anand, Rushikesh A. Patil, Ajit Coimbatore Balram +1 more

Real-space entanglement spectra (RSES) capture characteristic features of the topological order encoded in the fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states. In this work, we numerically compute, using Monte Carlo methods, the RSES and the counting of edge excitations of non-Abelian FQH states constructed using the parton theory. Efficient numerical computation of RSES of parton states is possible, thanks to their product-of-Slater-determinant structure, allowing us to compute the spectra in systems of up to 80 particles. Specifically, we compute the RSES of the parton states ${\ensuremath{\phi}}_{2}^{2}, {\ensuremath{\phi}}_{2}^{3}$, and ${\ensuremath{\phi}}_{3}^{2}$, where ${\ensuremath{\phi}}_{n}$ is the wave function of $n$-filled Landau levels, in the ground state as well as in the presence of bulk quasihole states. We then explicitly demonstrate a one-to-one correspondence of RSES of the parton states with representations of the Kac-Moody algebras satisfied by their edge currents. We also show that for the lowest Landau level projected version of these parton states, the spectra match with that obtained from the edge current algebra. We also perform a computation of spectra of the overlap matrices corresponding to the edge excitations of the parton states with a constrained number of particles in the different parton Landau levels. Counting in these match the individual branches present in RSES, providing insight about how different branches are formed.

Entanglement spectrum of composite fermion states in real space

Ivan Dario Jimenez Rodriguez, Simon C. Davenport, Steven H. Simon +1 more

We study the entanglement spectra of many-particle systems in states which are closely related to products of Slater determinants or products of permanents, or combinations of the two. Such states notably include the Laughlin and Jain composite fermion states which describe most of the observed conductance plateaus of the fractional quantum Hall effect. We identify a set of entanglement wave functions (EWFs), for subsets of the particles, which completely describe the entanglement spectra of such product wave functions, both in real space and in particle space. A subset of the EWFs for the Laughlin and Jain states can be recognized as composite fermion states. These states provide an exact description of the low angular-momentum sectors of the real-space entanglement spectrum (RSES) of these trial wave functions and a physical explanation of the branches of excitations observed in the RSES of the Jain states.

Exact matrix product states for quantum Hall wave functions

Michael P. Zaletel, Roger S. K. Mong

We show that the model wave functions used to describe the fractional quantum Hall effect have exact representations as matrix product states (MPS). These MPS can be implemented numerically in the orbital basis of both finite and infinite cylinders, which provides an efficient way of calculating arbitrary observables. We extend this approach to the charged excitations and numerically compute their Berry phases. Finally, we present an algorithm for numerically computing the real-space entanglement spectrum starting from an arbitrary orbital basis MPS, which allows us to study the scaling properties of the real-space entanglement spectra on infinite cylinders. The real-space entanglement spectrum obeys a scaling form dictated by the edge conformal field theory, allowing us to accurately extract the two entanglement velocities of the Moore-Read state. In contrast, the orbital space spectrum is observed to scale according to a complex set of power laws that rule out a similar collapse.
