Generating quantum error correcting codes from topological pre-thermal scars

William N. Faugno, Frank Barrows, Terry A. Loring +2

Quantum many-body scars are rare nonthermal states embedded within otherwise thermalizing spectra, making them promising candidates for storing and manipulating quantum information…

Non-equilibirum physics of density-difference dependent Hamiltonian: Quantum Scarring from Emergent Chiral Symmetry

William N Faugno, Hosho Katsura, Tomoki Ozawa

Quantum many-body scars represent a form of weak ergodicity breaking that highlights the unusual physics of thermalization in quantum systems. Understanding scar formation promises…

Characterizing the Many Body Localization Crossover as a Metal-Insulator Transition: Localization length from Polarization and Quantum Metric

W. N. Faugno, Tomoki Ozawa

Many body localization (MBL) represents a unique physical phenomenon, providing a testing ground for exploring thermalization, or more precisely its failure. Here we characterize t…

Density dependent gauge field inducing emergent SSH physics, solitons and condensates in a discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation

William N. Faugno, Mario Salerno, Tomoki Ozawa

We investigate a discrete non-linear Schrödinger equation with dynamical, density-difference-dependent, gauge fields. We find a ground-state transition from a plane wave condensate…

Interaction-induced non-Hermitian topological phases from a dynamical gauge field

William N Faugno, Tomoki Ozawa

We present a minimal non-Hermitian model where a topologically nontrivial complex energy spectrum is induced by inter-particle interactions. Our model consists of a one-dimensional…

Revisiting excitation gaps in the fractional quantum Hall effect

Tongzhou Zhao, Koji Kudo, W. N. Faugno +2

Recent systematic measurements of the quantum well width dependence of the excitation gaps of fractional quantum Hall states in high mobility samples [Villegas Rosales {\it et al.}…

Unconventional parton states at : The role of finite width

William N. Faugno, Tongzhou Zhao, Ajit C. Balram +2

A recent work [Balram, Jain, and Barkeshli, Phys. Rev. Res. , 013349 (2020)] has suggested that an unconventional state describing superconductivity of co…

Origin of the fractional quantum Hall effect in wide quantum wells

Tongzhou Zhao, William N. Faugno, Songyang Pu +2

The nature of the fractional quantum Hall effect at observed in wide quantum wells almost three decades ago is still under debate. Previous studies have investigated it by…

A non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall state at filled Landau level

W. N. Faugno, J. K. Jain, Ajit C. Balram

We consider a non-Abelian candidate state at filling factor state belonging to the parton family. We find that, in the second Landau level of GaAs (i.e. at filling factor $…

Theoretical phase diagram of two-component composite fermions in double layer graphene

William N. Faugno, Ajit C. Balram, Arkadiusz Wójs +1

Theory predicts that double layer systems realize "two-component composite fermions," which are formed when electrons capture both intra- and inter-layer vortices, to produce a wid…

Prediction of a non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall state with -wave pairing of composite fermions in wide quantum wells

William N. Faugno, Ajit C. Balram, Maissam Barkeshli +1

We theoretically investigate the nature of the state at quarter filled lowest Landau level and predict that, as the quantum well width is increased, a transition occurs from the co…

Exotic Bilayer Crystals in a Strong Magnetic Field

William N. Faugno, Alex J. Duthie, David J. Wales +1

Electron bilayers in a strong magnetic field exhibit insulating behavior for a wide range of interlayer separation for total Landau level fillings , which has been i…
