Enigmatic 2+6/13 Filling Factor: A Prototype Intermittent Topological State

Observation of filling factor 6/13 is one of the surprising fractional quantum Hall states in the second Landau level because, in contrast to the standard wisdom, the fractions ($\nu < 1/2$) with lower numerators, namely 4 and 5, have not yet been observed. We find that a state indeed forms at $\nu=6/13$ as an intermittent topological state between two prominent states at $\nu =1/2$ and $\nu = 2/5$ with lower numerators. Also, we predict that a state forms at $\nu=5/13$ as an intermittent to $\nu = 2/5$ and $\nu =3/8$. Our proposed wave functions for $\nu =6/13$ and $5/13$ have excellent overlaps with the corresponding exact ground state wave functions. The Chern-Simons coupling matrices deduced from the form of these wave functions are analyzed to predict the topological properties, which may be experimentally verified.

Fractional Quantum Hall States of the $\mathcal{A}$ phase in the Second Landau Level

A proposal of the existence of an {\em Anomalous} phase ($\mathcal{A}$ phase) [https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.056202 Das et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 056202 (2023)] at the experimental range of moderate Landau-level-mixing strength has recently been made for $5/2$ state. We here report that the gapped $\mathcal{A}$ phase is generic to the sequence of spin-polarized fractional quantum Hall states with filling fractions $\nu = n/(nm-1)$ and $\nu = 1-n/(nm-1)$, $(n \geqslant 1,\,m\geqslant 3)$, that exhausts almost all the observed states and also predicts some states in the second Landau level for GaAs systems. Our proposed trial wavefunctions for all these states have remarkably high overlaps with the corresponding exact ground states and can support non-Abelian quasiparticle excitations with charge $e/[2(nm-1)]$. By analyzing edge modes, we predict experimentally verifiable thermal Hall conductance $2.5(\pi^2 k_B^2T/3h)$ for all the states in these sequences.

An Anomalous Reentrant 5/2 Quantum Hall Phase at Moderate Landau-Level-Mixing Strength

A successful probing of neutral Majorana mode in recent thermal Hall conductivity measurements opines in favor of the particle-hole symmetric Pfaffian (PH-Pf) topological order, contrasting the theoretical predictions of Pfaffian or anti-Pfaffian phases. Here we report a reentrant anomalous quantized phase which is found to be gapped in the thermodynamic limit, distinct from the conventional Pfaffian, anti-Pfaffian, or PH-Pf phases, at an intermediate strength of Landau level mixing. Our proposed wave function consistent with the PH-Pf shift in spherical geometry rightly captures the topological order of this phase, as its overlap with the exact ground state is very high and it reproduces low-lying entanglement spectra. A unique topological order, irrespective of the flux shifts, found for this phase possibly corroborates the experimentally found topological order.

From the Gaffnian critical point to the incompressible 2/5 quantum Hall state

Despite the high overlap with the exact Coulomb ground state, the so-called Gaffnian state fails to describe the incompressibility at the 2/5 quantum Hall filling factor and consequently it was conjectured to be a quantum critical state. To achieve a gapped state starting from the Gaffnian wavefunction, which we interpret as the inter-flavor pairing of the composite fermions, we propose a minimally `modified Gaffnian' wavefunction keeping the pairing intact. We find that a suitable hybridization of these two wavefunctions is an excellent description of the 2/5 quantum Hall state. It has a very high overlap with the exact Coulomb state and their entanglement spectra match up to reasonably higher levels. Interestingly, this hybridized wavefunction being a representative of a paired state suggests an exotic possibility of non-Abelian quasiparticle excitations at 2/5 filling.

Unconventional Filling Factor 4/11: A Closed-Form Ground State Wave Function

The ground state at 4/11 filling factor is very well understood [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 016801 (2014)] in terms of the 1/3 filled second effective Landau level of the composite fermions whose correlations resemble with that of electrons in the ground state of two-body Haldane pseudo-potential of relative angular momentum 3, $V_3$. We here propose a closed-form ground state wave function for $V_3$ at 1/3 filling factor. We successfully compare it with the exact wave function for the systems with a few electrons, by calculating their mutual overlap, pair-correlation function, and entanglement spectra. By numerical exact diagonalization for a few electron systems, we find a window of nonzero $V_3$ is essential together with $V_1$ for being 4/11 state incompressible. The constructed wave function for 4/11 state using this proposed wave function has satisfactorily high overlap with the previously studied composite-fermion-diagonalized ground state wave function.

ElasTraS: An Elastic Transactional Data Store in the Cloud

Over the last couple of years, "Cloud Computing" or "Elastic Computing" has emerged as a compelling and successful paradigm for internet scale computing. One of the major contributing factors to this success is the elasticity of resources. In spite of the elasticity provided by the infrastructure and the scalable design of the applications, the elephant (or the underlying database), which drives most of these web-based applications, is not very elastic and scalable, and hence limits scalability. In this paper, we propose ElasTraS which addresses this issue of scalability and elasticity of the data store in a cloud computing environment to leverage from the elastic nature of the underlying infrastructure, while providing scalable transactional data access. This paper aims at providing the design of a system in progress, highlighting the major design choices, analyzing the different guarantees provided by the system, and identifying several important challenges for the research community striving for computing in the cloud.

Anonimos: An LP based Approach for Anonymizing Weighted Social Network Graphs

The increasing popularity of social networks has initiated a fertile research area in information extraction and data mining. Anonymization of these social graphs is important to facilitate publishing these data sets for analysis by external entities. Prior work has concentrated mostly on node identity anonymization and structural anonymization. But with the growing interest in analyzing social networks as a weighted network, edge weight anonymization is also gaining importance. We present Anónimos, a Linear Programming based technique for anonymization of edge weights that preserves linear properties of graphs. Such properties form the foundation of many important graph-theoretic algorithms such as shortest paths problem, k-nearest neighbors, minimum cost spanning tree, and maximizing information spread. As a proof of concept, we apply Anónimos to the shortest paths problem and its extensions, prove the correctness, analyze complexity, and experimentally evaluate it using real social network data sets. Our experiments demonstrate that Anónimos anonymizes the weights, improves k-anonymity of the weights, and also scrambles the relative ordering of the edges sorted by weights, thereby providing robust and effective anonymization of the sensitive edge-weights. Additionally, we demonstrate the composability of different models generated using Anónimos, a property that allows a single anonymized graph to preserve multiple linear properties.
