Poster: Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
POSTER
Abstract
The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) is a physical phenomenon in which the Hall conductance of 2-dimensional (2D) electrons shows precisely quantized plateaus at fractional values of e2/h. We review the recent discovery on fractional quantum spin Hall (FQSH) state which shows the great potential of realizing time-reversal symmetric non-abelian anyons, as well as other novel topological phases, in highly tunable moiré materials. We explore the possibility of the coupling of superconductivity to the fractionalized helical edge states in FQSH insulators, since this platform could be used to realize Majorana fermions and establish the foundation of topological quantum computation.
