Monte Carlo Evaluation of Non-Abelian Statistics

arXiv:cond-mat/0209650 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.90.016802

Abstract

We develop a general framework to (numerically) study adiabatic braiding of quasiholes in fractional quantum Hall systems. Specifically, we investigate the Moore-Read (MR) state at filling factor, a known candidate for non-Abelian statistics, which appears to actually occur in nature. The non-Abelian statistics of MR quasiholes is demonstrated explicitly for the first time, confirming the results predicted by conformal field theories.
