B. Estienne, N. Regnault, B. A. Bernevig

摘要:

使用新开发的矩阵乘积态(MPS)的非阿贝尔分数量子霍尔(Fractional Quantum Hall,HALL)状态的形式主义,我们解决的问题,是否一个HALL试探波函数作为一个关联函数写在非酉共形场论(CFT)可以描述一个gapped HALL相位的大部分。我们发现,非酉加夫尼态表现出明显的特征的病理行为。作为基准,我们计算了Moore-Read态的关联长度,发现它在热力学极限下是有限的。相比之下,加夫尼态在(至少)非阿贝尔扇区中具有无限的相关长度,因此是无隙的。我们还计算了几个非阿贝尔态在有和没有准空穴时的拓扑纠缠熵。第一次,在CFT预测的幺正态在所有拓扑部门的结果是非常一致的。对于有限尺寸系统中的非幺正Gaffnian态,拓扑纠缠熵表现出与等填充复合费米子Jain态相似的性质。

英文摘要:

Using the newly developed Matrix Product State (MPS) formalism for non-abelian Fractional Quantum Hall (FQH) states, we address the question of whether a FQH trial wave function written as a correlation function in a non-unitary Conformal Field Theory (CFT) can describe the bulk of a gapped FQH phase. We show that the non-unitary Gaffnian state exhibits clear signatures of a pathological behavior. As a benchmark we compute the correlation length of Moore-Read state and find it to be finite in the thermodynamic limit. By contrast, the Gaffnian state has infinite correlation length in (at least) the non-Abelian sector, and is therefore gapless. We also compute the topological entanglement entropy of several non-abelian states with and without quasiholes. For the first time in FQH the results are in excellent agreement in all topological sectors with the CFT prediction for unitary states. For the non-unitary Gaffnian state in finite size systems, the topological entanglement entropy seems to behave like that of the Composite Fermion Jain state at equal filling.
