Edge Excitations and Non-Abelian Statistics in the Moore-Read State: A Numerical Study in the Presence of Coulomb Interaction and Edge Confinement

Xin Wan, Kun Yang, E. H. Rezayi

We study the ground state and low-energy excitations of fractional quantum Hall systems on a disk at filling fraction $\nu =5/2$, with Coulomb interaction and background confining po…
