Non-Abelian Anyons and Topological Quantum Computation
- C. Nayak, S. Simon, A. Stern, M. Freedman, S. Sarma
- Physics
- 12 July 2007
Topological quantum computation has emerged as one of the most exciting approaches to constructing a fault-tolerant quantum computer. The proposal relies on the existence of topological states of… Expand
Observation of half-integer thermal Hall conductance
- M. Banerjee, M. Heiblum, V. Umansky, D. Feldman, Y. Oreg, A. Stern
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 2 October 2017
Topological states of matter are characterized by topological invariants, which are physical quantities whose values are quantized and do not depend on the details of the system (such as its shape,… Expand
Observation of a quarter of an electron charge at the ν = 5/2 quantum Hall state
- M. Dolev, M. Heiblum, V. Umansky, A. Stern, D. Mahalu
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 17 April 2008
The fractional quantum Hall effect, where plateaus in the Hall resistance at values of h/νe2 coexist with zeros in the longitudinal resistance, results from electron correlations in two dimensions… Expand
Theory of the Fabry-Perot quantum Hall interferometer
- B. Halperin, A. Stern, I. Neder, B. Rosenow
- Physics
- 21 October 2010
We analyze interference phenomena in the quantum-Hall analog of the Fabry-Perot interferometer, exploring the roles of the Aharonov-Bohm effect, Coulomb interactions, and fractional statistics on the… Expand
Proposed experiments to probe the non-Abelian nu = 5/2 quantum hall state.
- A. Stern, B. Halperin
- Physics, Medicine
- Physical review letters
- 19 August 2005
We propose several experiments to test the non-Abelian nature of quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall state at nu = 5/2. In a simplified version of the experiment suggested by [S. Das Sarma,… Expand
Diverse Plasma Populations and Structures in Jupiter's Magnetotail
- D. McComas, F. Allegrini, +5 authors P. Valek
- Physics, Medicine
- Science
- 12 October 2007
Jupiter's magnetotail is the largest cohesive structure in the solar system and marks the loss of vast numbers of heavy ions from the Jupiter system. The New Horizons spacecraft traversed the… Expand
Non-Abelian states of matter

- Nature
- 10 March 2010
Quantum mechanics classifies all elementary particles as either fermions or bosons, and this classification is crucial to the understanding of a variety of physical systems, such as lasers, metals… Expand
Fractional topological insulators.
We analyze generalizations of two-dimensional topological insulators which can be realized in interacting, time reversal invariant electron systems. These states, which we call fractional topological… Expand
Role of interactions in an electronic Fabry–Perot interferometer operating in the quantum Hall effect regime
