Interactions, Disorder, and Topology in Quantum Hall Systems
International Workshop — June 7 - 11, 2010

Quantum Hall systems remain one of the most important research areas of modern physics. Novel fractional quantum Hall correlated states with remarkable properties (such as fractional charge and topological order with non-abelian statistics of excitations) are at the focus of current research, also in connection with quantum computation. Another outstanding development is the theoretical prediction and the experimental discovery of 2D and 3D topological insulators (generalizing the physics of quantized Hall states) and, in particular, of the quantum spin Hall effect. Graphene remains a topic of enormous research activity, including the anomalous quantum-Hall and localization properties of Dirac fermions and, most recently, the fractional quantum Hall effect. Unconventional bulk properties of these systems have profound consequences for their edges, thus motivating research in the field of correlated 1D systems. Fascinating developments in the physics of cold atomic gases open new avenues towards engineering and investigating fractional quantum Hall states and offer new experimental tools to study disorder and quantum interference phenomena.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together leading experts in the field in order to discuss past progress and future perspectives. Topics will include but are not limited to:
- quantum Hall edge states and related 1D systems, quantum Hall interferometry
- ν=5/2 and related fractional quantum Hall states; non-abelian statistics and quantum computation
- graphene: electronic properties, transport, and quantum Hall effects
- topological insulators and quantum spin Hall effect
- cold atoms: correlated fractional quantum Hall states; interference and Anderson localization
- correlated states in bilayer and multiple-valley systems
