A modest in-plane magnetic field Bpar is sufficient to destroy the fractional quantized Hall states at $ u = 5/2$ and 7/2 and replace them with anisotropic compressible phases. Remarkably, we find that at larger Bpar these anisotropic phases can themselves be replaced by isotropic compressible phases reminiscent of the composite fermion fluid at $ u = 1/2$. We present strong evidence that this transition is a consequence of the mixing of Landau levels from different electric subbands. We also report surprising dependences of the energy gaps at $ u = 5/2$ and 7/3 on the width of the confinement potential.

Under hydrostatic pressure, the ground state of a two-dimensional electron gas at $ u=5/2$ changes from a fractional quantum Hall state to the stripe phase. By measuring the energy gap of the fractional quantum Hall state and of the onset temperature of the stripe phase we mapped out a phase diagram of these competing phases in the pressure-temperature plane. Our data highlight the dichotomy of two descriptions of the half-filled Landau level near the quantum critical point: one based on electrons and another on composite fermions.
We investigate the finite frequency noise of a quantum point contact at filling factor { u} = 5/2 using a weakly coupled resonant LC circuit as a detector. We show how one could spectroscopically address the fractional charged excitations inspecting separately their charge and scaling dimensions. We thus compare the behaviour of the Pfaffian and the anti-Pfaffian non-Abelian edge states models in order to give possible experimental signatures to identify the appropriate model for this fractional quantum Hall states. Finally we investigate how the temperature of the LC resonant circuit can be used in order to enhance the sensibility of the measurement scheme.

We study the nature of the u=5/2 quantum Hall state in wide quantum wells under the mixing of electronic subbands and Landau levels. We introduce a general method to analyze the Moore-Read Pfaffian state and its particle-hole conjugate, the anti-Pfa ffian, under periodic boundary conditions in a quartered Brillouin zone scheme containing both even and odd numbers of electrons. We examine the rotational quantum numbers on the torus, and show spontaneous breaking of the particle-hole symmetry can be observed in finite-size systems. In the presence of electronic-subband and Landau-level mixing the particle-hole symmetry is broken in such a way that the anti-Pfaffian is unambiguously favored, and becomes more robust in the vicinity of a transition to the compressible phase, in agreement with recent experiments.
We investigate the nature of the fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state at filling factor $ u=13/5$, and its particle-hole conjugate state at $12/5$, with the Coulomb interaction, and address the issue of possible competing states. Based on a large-scal e density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculation in spherical geometry, we present evidence that the physics of the Coulomb ground state (GS) at $ u=13/5$ and $12/5$ is captured by the $k=3$ parafermion Read-Rezayi RR state, $text{RR}_3$. We first establish that the state at $ u=13/5$ is an incompressible FQH state, with a GS protected by a finite excitation gap, with the shift in accordance with the RR state. Then, by performing a finite-size scaling analysis of the GS energies for $ u=12/5$ with different shifts, we find that the $text{RR}_3$ state has the lowest energy among different competing states in the thermodynamic limit. We find the fingerprint of $text{RR}_3$ topological order in the FQH $13/5$ and $12/5$ states, based on their entanglement spectrum and topological entanglement entropy, both of which strongly support their identification with the $text{RR}_3$ state. Furthermore, by considering the shift-free infinite-cylinder geometry, we expose two topologically-distinct GS sectors, one identity sector and a second one matching the non-Abelian sector of the Fibonacci anyonic quasiparticle, which serves as additional evidence for the $text{RR}_3$ state at $13/5$ and $12/5$.
Supersymmetry, a symmetry between fermions and bosons, provides a promising extension of the standard model but is still lack of experimental evidence. Recently, the interest in supersymmetry arises in the condensed matter community owing to its pote ntial emergence at the continuous quantum phase transition. In this work, we demonstrate that 2+1D supersymmetry, relating massive Majorana and Ising fields, might emerge at the first-order quantum phase transition of the Ising magnetization by tuning a single parameter. Although the emergence of the SUSY is only allowed in a finite range of scales due to the existence of relevant masses, the scale range can be large when the masses before scaling are small. We show that the emergence of supersymmetry is accompanied by a topological phase transition for the Majorana field, where its non-zero mass changes the sign but keeps the magnitude. An experimental realization of this scenario is proposed using the surface state of a 3+1D time-reversal invariant topological superconductor with surface magnetic doping.
