Transitions between the quantum Hall state and the Anderson insulator are studied in a two-dimensional tight-binding model with a uniform magnetic field and a random potential. By the string (anyon) gauge, the weak magnetic field regime is explored numerically. The regime is closely related to the continuum model. The change of the Hall conductance and the trajectory of the delocalized states are investigated by the topological arguments and the Thouless number study.

Levitation of quantum Hall critical states in a lattice model with spatially correlated disorder

The fate of the current carrying states of a quantum Hall system is considered in the situation when the disorder strength is increased and the transition from the quantum Hall liquid to the Hall…

Breakdown of the Quantum Hall Regime in a ‘Confined’ Graphene

Our focus is on the graphene under a magnetic field with Landau levels i.e. quantum Hall regime where a ‘confining potential’ is imposed by a finite electric field. In our theory, the graphene is…

Quantifying the levitation picture of extended states in lattice models

The behavior of extended states is quantitatively analyzed for two-dimensional lattice models. A levitation picture is established for both white-noise and correlated disorder potentials. In a…

Route towards Localization for Quantum Anomalous Hall Systems with Chern Number 2

It is found that on the route towards localization, there exists a hidden state with Chern number 1, but it is too short and too fluctuating to be practically observable, and this should be a universal phenomena for insulators with high Chern numbers.

Topological Protection and Control of Quantum Markovianity

Under the Born–Markov approximation, a qubit system, such as a two-level atom, is known to undergo a memoryless decay of quantum coherence or excitation when weakly coupled to a featureless…

Quantum effects in (2+1)‐dimensional Dirac fermion and nodal superconductivity

We shall discuss quantum effects in (2+1)‐dimensional Dirac fermion (nodal quasiparticle in two dimensions) and also the relevance to nodal superconductivity. For example, we focus on quantum…

The Edge State Network Model and the Global Phase Diagram

The effects of randomness are investigated in the fractional quantum Hall systems. Based on the Chern–Simons Ginzburg–Landau theory and considering relevant quasi-particle tunneling, the edge state…
