The fractional quantum Hall effect.
Recent research has uncovered a fascinating quantum liquid made up solely of electrons confined to a plane surface. Found only at temperatures near absolute zero and in extremely strong magnetic fields, this liquid can flow without friction. The excited states of this liquid consist of peculiar particle-like objects that carry an exact fraction of an electron charge. Called quasiparticles, thes...
متن کاملThe Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
Their citation reads “ for their discovery of a new form of quantum fluid with fractionally charged excitations”. In this talk, I will try to describe this new form of quantum fluid and its fractionally charged excitations. However, since I am speaking to a general audience and the phenomenon of the fractional quantum Hall effect may not be familiar to all, I will start my talk with a brief int...

متن کاملNobel Lecture: The fractional quantum Hall effect*
The fractional quantum Hall effect is a very counterintuitive physical phenomenon. It implies that many electrons, acting in concert, can create new particles having a charge smaller than the charge of any individual electron. This is not the way things are supposed to be. A collection of objects may assemble to form a bigger object, or the parts may remain their size, but they don’t create any...
متن کاملNonabelions in the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
Applications of conformal field theory to the theory of fractional quantum Hall systems are discussed. In particular, Laughlin's wave function and its cousins are interpreted as conformal blocks in certain rational conformal field theories. Using this point of view a hamiitonian is constructed for electrons for which the ground state is known exactly and whose quasihole excitations have nonabel...
