Recent developments in fractional Chern insulators

Z Liu, EJ Bergholtz - arXiv preprint arXiv:2208.08449, 2022 - arxiv.org
Fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) are lattice generalizations of the conventional fractional
quantum Hall effect (FQHE) in two-dimensional (2D) electron gases. They typically arise in a …

Vortexability: A unifying criterion for ideal fractional Chern insulators

PJ Ledwith, A Vishwanath, DE Parker - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Fractional Chern insulators realize the remarkable physics of the fractional quantum Hall

Drude weight and the many-body quantum metric in one-dimensional Bose systems

G Salerno, T Ozawa, P Törmä - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We study the effect of quantum geometry on the many-body ground state of one-dimensional
interacting bosonic systems. We find that the Drude weight is given by the sum of the kinetic …

Quantum geometry and Landau levels of quadratic band crossings

J Jung, H Lim, BJ Yang - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We study the relation between the quantum geometry of wave functions and the Landau

Local geometry and quantum geometric tensor of mixed states

XY Hou, Z Zhou, X Wang, H Guo, CC Chien - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
The quantum geometric tensor (QGT) is a fundamental concept for characterizing the local
geometry of quantum states. After casting the geometry of pure quantum states and …

Z Zhou, XY Hou, X Wang, JC Tang, H Guo, CC Chien - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
The quantum geometric tensor (QGT) reveals local geometric properties and associated
topological information of quantum states. Here a generalization of the QGT to mixed …

Stability of fractional Chern insulators with a non-Landau level continuum limit

B Andrews, M Raja, N Mishra, MP Zaletel, R Roy - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
The stability of fractional Chern insulators is widely believed to be predicted by the
resemblance of their single-particle spectra to Landau levels. We investigate the scope of …
