On the Anyon Description of the Laughlin Hole States

Abstract

We examine the anyon representation of the Laughlin quasiholes, in particular the one-dimensional, algebraic aspects of the representation. For the cases of one and two quasiholes an explicit mapping to anyon systems is given, and the connection between the hole-states and coherent states of the fundamental algebras of observables is examined. The quasielectron case is discussed more briefly, and some remaining questions are pointed out.

Domain-wall-type defects as anyons in phase space

Alexander Seidel, D. H. Lee

We discuss how the braiding properties of Laughlin quasiparticles in quantum Hall states can be understood within a one-dimensional formalism we proposed earlier. In this formalism, the two-dimensional space of the Hall liquid is identified with the phase space of a one-dimensional lattice system, and localized Laughlin quasiholes can be understood as coherent states of lattice solitons. The formalism makes comparatively little use of the detailed structure of Laughlin wave functions, and may offer ways to be generalized to non-Abelian states.

The Quantum Links of the Anyons and their Entanglement

Viorel Laurentiu Cartas

In this paper, after a brief presentation of the physical 2+1 dimensional place where the anyons evolve, there is established the links creation probability for the anyons. The departure point is the celebrated Laughlin wave function. Then, two cases of quantum links are emphasized, considering two and three anyons. In the first case a two qubits register is attached. The unitary transformation (e.g. the UCNOT unitary transformation) can map not-entangled quantum states to the quantum and topological entangled states, as there are highlighted in this paper for the two anyons link case. The six qubit register which is attached to the three anyons link is only shortly presented since it represents a work in progress. The topologic and quantum states are represented by ket vectors and correspondingly by diagrams.

Laughlin states and their quasiparticle excitations on the torus

Martin Greiter, Vera Schnells, Ronny Thomale

We provide a full derivation of Laughlin's Jastrow-type wave functions for quantized Hall states subject to periodic boundary conditions using an operator formalism. The construction includes the quasihole and the technically more challenging quasielectron excitation, which was left as an open problem in the classic paper by Haldane and Rezayi [Phys. Rev. B 31, 2529 (1985)].

Quasielectrons as inverse quasiholes in lattice fractional quantum Hall models

Anne E B Nielsen, Ivan Glasser, Iván D Rodríguez

From an experimental point of view, quasielectrons and quasiholes play very similar roles in the fractional quantum Hall effect. Nevertheless, the theoretical description of quasielectrons is known to be much harder than that of quasiholes. The problem is that one obtains a singularity in the wavefunction if one tries to naively construct the quasielectron as the inverse of the quasihole. Here, we demonstrate that the same problem does not arise in lattice fractional quantum Hall models. This result allows us to make detailed investigations of the properties of quasielectrons, including their braiding statistics and density distribution on lattices on the plane and on the torus. We show that some of the states considered have high overlap with certain fractional Chern insulator states. We also derive few-body Hamiltonians, for which various states containing quasielectrons are exact ground states.

Bound states of anyons: a geometric quantization approach

Qingchen Li, P. A. Nosov, Taige Wang +1 more

The question of anyon interactions and their possible binding plays a key role in the physics of fractional quantum Hall states. Here, we introduce a controlled and scalable approach to study anyon binding by working entirely within the Hilbert space of anyons. The resulting theory is characterized by an effective potential, which captures the electrostatic energy of classical anyon configurations, and a Kähler potential, which simultaneously encodes the anyon Berry phase and the structure of their Hilbert space; both quantities are readily computed using Monte Carlo methods for large systems, enabling reliable extrapolation to the thermodynamic limit. By applying the formalism of geometric quantization on Kähler manifolds, we construct the anyon Hamiltonian, which can be exactly diagonalized in the few-anyon Hilbert space. Applying our approach to the quasiholes of the $ν=1/3$ Laughlin state with screened Coulomb interaction, we find that Laughlin quasiholes form bound states for screening lengths comparable or smaller than the magnetic length. Remarkably, binding occurs despite both the bare electron-electron interaction and the quasihole electrostatic potential being purely repulsive. The bound-state formation is a Berry phase effect, driven by oscillations in the quasihole density profile on the $\ell_B$ scale that are invisible in the quasihole electrostatic potential alone. For multiple quasiholes, we identify a sequence of phases as the screening length is reduced: free $e/3$ anyons, paired $2e/3$ bound states, three-anyon charge-$e$ clusters, and larger composite objects. Finally, we discuss possible signatures in charge imaging experiments on quantum Hall systems and the relevance to the phase diagram of itinerant anyon phases in fractional quantum anomalous Hall materials.
