We present and analyze a protocol in which polaritons in a noncoplanar optical cavity form fractional quantum Hall states. We model the formation of these states and present techniques for subsequently creating anyons and measuring their fractional exchange statistics. In this protocol, we use a rapid adiabatic passage scheme to sequentially add polaritons to the system, such that the system is coherently driven from $n$- to $(n+1)$-particle Laughlin states. Quasiholes are created by slowly moving local pinning potentials in from outside the cloud. They are braided by dragging the pinning centers around one another, and the resulting phases are measured interferometrically. The most technically challenging issue with implementing our procedure is that maintaining adiabaticity and coherence requires that the two-particle interaction energy $V_0$ be sufficiently large compared to the single-polariton decay rate $gamma$, $V_0 /gamma gg 10 N^2 ln N$, where $N$ is the number of particles in the target state. While this condition is very demanding for present-day experiments where $V_0 /gammasim 50$, our protocol presents a significant advance over the existing protocols in the literature.

We demonstrate the generation of coherent phonons in a quartz Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonator through the photoelastic properties of the crystal, via the coupling to a microwave cavity enhanced by a photonic lambda scheme. This is achieved by imbe
dding a single crystal BAW resonator between the post and the adjacent wall of a microwave reentrant cavity resonator. This 3D photonic lumped LC resonator at the same time acts as the electrodes of a BAW phonon resonator, and allows the direct readout of coherent phonons via the linear piezoelectric response of the quartz. A microwave pump, $omega_p$ is tuned to the cavity resonance $omega_0$, while a probe frequency, $omega_{probe}$, is detuned and varied around the red and blue detuned values with respect to the BAW phonon frequency, $Omega_m$. The pump and probe power dependence of the generated phonons unequivocally determines the process to be electrostrictive, with the phonons produced at the difference frequency between pump and probe, with no back action effects involved. Thus, the phonons are created without threshold and can be considered analogous to a Coherent Population Trapped (CPT) maser scheme.
We employ the exact diagonalization method to analyze the possibility of generating strongly correlated states in two-dimensional clouds of ultracold bosonic atoms which are subjected to a geometric gauge field created by coupling two internal atomic
states to a laser beam. Tuning the gauge field strength, the system undergoes stepwise transitions between different ground states, which we describe by analytical trial wave functions, amongst them the Pfaffian, the Laughlin, and a Laughlin quasiparticle many-body state. The adiabatic following of the center of mass movement by the lowest energy dressed internal state, is lost by the mixing of the second internal state. This mixture can be controlled by the intensity of the laser field. The non-adiabaticity is inherent to the considered setup, and is shown to play the role of circular asymmetry. We study its influence on the properties of the ground state of the system. Its main effect is to reduce the overlap of the numerical solutions with the analytical trial expressions by occupying states with higher angular momentum. Thus, we propose generalized wave functions arising from the Laughlin and Pfaffian wave function by including components, where extra Jastrow factors appear, while preserving important features of these states. We analyze quasihole excitations over the Laughlin and generalized Laughlin states, and show that they possess effective fractional charge and obey anyonic statistics. Finally, we study the energy gap over the Laughlin state as the number of particles is increased keeping the chemical potential fixed. The gap is found to decrease as the number of particles is increased, indicating that the observability of the Laughlin state is restricted to a small number of particles.
Electron correlation in a quantum many-body state appears as peculiar scattering behaviour at its boundary, symbolic of which is Andreev reflection at a metal-superconductor interface. Despite being fundamental in nature, dictated by the charge conse
rvation law, however, the process has had no analogues outside the realm of superconductivity so far. Here, we report the observation of an Andreev-like process originating from a topological quantum many-body effect instead of superconductivity. A narrow junction between fractional and integer quantum Hall states shows a two-terminal conductance exceeding that of the constituent fractional state. This remarkable behaviour, while theoretically predicted more than two decades ago but not detected to date, can be interpreted as Andreev reflection of fractionally charged quasiparticles. The observed fractional quantum Hall Andreev reflection provides a fundamental picture that captures microscopic charge dynamics at the boundaries of topological quantum many-body states.
We study incompressible ground states of bosons in a two-dimensional rotating square optical lattice. The system can be described by the Bose-Hubbard model in an effective uniform magnetic field present due to the lattice rotation. To study ground st
ates of the system, we map it to a frustrated spin model, followed by Schwinger boson mean field theory and projective symmetry group analysis. Using symmetry analysis we identify bosonic fractional quantum Hall states, predicted for bosonic atoms in rotating optical lattices, with possible stable gapped spin liquid states within the Schwinger boson formalism. In particular, we find that previously found fractional quantum Hall states induced by the lattice potential, and with no counterpart in the continuum [G. Moller, and N. R. Cooper, Phys. Rev. Lett. textbf{103}, 105303 (2009)], correspond to $pi$ flux spin liquid states of the frustrated spin model.
We report on our systematic attempts at finding local interactions for which the lowest-Landau-level projected composite-fermion wave functions are the unique zero energy ground states. For this purpose, we study in detail the simplest non-trivial sy
stem beyond the Laughlin states, namely bosons at filling $ u=frac{2}{3}$ and identify local constraints among clusters of particles in the ground state. By explicit calculation, we show that no Hamiltonian up to (and including) four particle interactions produces this state as the exact ground state, and speculate that this remains true even when interaction terms involving greater number of particles are included. Surprisingly, we can identify an interaction, which imposes an energetic penalty for a specific entangled configuration of four particles with relative angular momentum of $6hbar$, that produces a unique zero energy solution (as we have confirmed for up to 12 particles). This state, referred to as the $lambda$-state, is not identical to the projected composite-fermion state, but the following facts suggest that the two might be topologically equivalent: the two sates have a high overlap; they have the same root partition; the quantum numbers for their neutral excitations are identical; and the quantum numbers for the quasiparticle excitations also match. On the quasihole side, we find that even though the quantum numbers of the lowest energy states agree with the prediction from the composite-fermion theory, these states are not separated from the others by a clearly identifiable gap. This prevents us from making a conclusive claim regarding the topological equivalence of the $lambda$ state and the composite-fermion state. Our study illustrates how new candidate states can be identified from constraining selected many particle configurations and it would be interesting to pursue their topological classification.
