Fractional Chern insulators: theory, numerics and experiment

Condensed matter physics
Low-temperature phenomena
Quantum field theory

Explore groundbreaking developments in fractional Chern Insulators.

New developments in the related field of fractional Chern Insulator, have transcended the established paradigm of the state of matter based on Landau’s symmetry-breaking theory and offer the opportunities to study phenomena, such as anyons and non-abelian fractional statistics. This ASI will offer a comprehensive picture on the frontier research in this area from the aspects of theory, numerics and experiments, on this fast-developing field.
