The status of the ac quantum Hall effect is reviewed with emphasis on the theoretical development in recent years. In particular, the numerical approaches for the calculation of the frequency dependent Hall and longitudinal conductivities of non-interacting electrons are considered in detail. Results for the frequency scaling at the critical point and for the frequency dependent deviation of the Hall conductivity from the quantised plateau value are presented.

We measure the longitudinal conductivity $sigma_{xx}$ at frequencies $1.246 {rm GHz} le f le 10.05$ GHz over a range of temperatures $235 {rm mK} le T le 4.2$ K with particular emphasis on the Quantum Hall plateaus. We find that $Re(sigma_{xx})$ scales linearly with frequency for a range of magnetic field around the center of the plateaus, i.e. where $sigma_{xx}(omega) gg sigma_{xx}^{DC}$. The width of this scaling region decreases with higher temperature and vanishes by 1.2 K altogether. Comparison between localization length determined from $sigma_{xx}(omega)$ and DC measurements on the same wafer show good agreement.
We study the spectral properties of infinite rectangular quantum graphs in the presence of a magnetic field. We study how these properties are affected when three-dimensionality is considered, in particular, the chaological properties. We then establish the quantization of the Hall transverse conductivity for these systems. This quantization is obtained by relating the transverse conductivity to topological invariants. The different integer values of the Hall conductivity are explicitly computed for an anisotropic diffusion system which leads to fractal phase diagrams.
We report on numerical studies into the interplay of disorder and electron-electron interactions within the integer quantum Hall regime, where the presence of a strong magnetic field and two-dimensional confinement of the electronic system profoundly affects thermodynamic and transport properties. We emphasise the behaviour of the electronic compressibility, the local density of states, and the Kubo conductivity. Our treatment of the electron-electron interactions relies on the Hartree-Fock approximation so as to achieve system sizes comparable to experimental situations. Our results clearly exhibit manifestations of various interaction-mediated features, such as non-linear screening, local charging, and g-factor enhancement, implying the inadequacy of independent-particle models for comparison with experimental results.
In recent interference experiments with an electronic Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI), implemented in the integer quantum Hall effect regime, a flux periodicity of $h/2e$ was observed at bulk fillings $ u_B>2.5$. The halved periodicity was accompanied by an interfering charge $e^*=2e$, determined by shot noise measurements. Here, we present measurements, demonstrating that, counterintuitively, the coherence and the interference periodicity of the interfering chiral edge channel are solely determined by the coherence and the enclosed flux of the adjacent edge channel. Our results elucidate the important role of the latter and suggest that a neutral chiral edge mode plays a crucial role in the pairing phenomenon. Our findings reveal that the observed pairing of electrons is not a curious isolated phenomenon, but one of many manifestations of unexpected edge physics in the quantum Hall effect regime.
The analog of two seminal quantum optics experiments are considered in a condensed matter setting with single electron sources injecting electronic wave packets on edge states coupled through a quantum point contact. When only one electron is injected, the measurement of noise correlations at the output of the quantum point contact corresponds to the Hanbury-Brown and Twiss setup. When two electrons are injected on opposite edges, the equivalent of the Hong-Ou-Mandel collision is achieved, exhibiting a dip as in the coincidence measurements of quantum optics. The Landauer-Buttiker scattering theory is used to first review these phenomena in the integer quantum Hall effect, next, to focus on two more exotic systems: edge states of two dimensional topological insulators, where new physics emerges from time reversal symmetry and three electron collisions can be achieved; and edges states of a hybrid Hall/superconducting device, which allow to perform electron quantum optics experiments with Bogoliubov quasiparticles.
