Physical Properties of Strongly Correlated Quantum Liquid

对强相关量子液体的物理性质进行理论研究。特别地，工作将做手性自旋态和其他自旋液态的实验意义；分数量子霍尔态中的边缘态和拓扑序；准一维系统和准二维系统中的强相关金属。理论方法将采用场论方法。凝聚态理论的最新进展强调了小于3维空间中强相互作用多体系统的统一性。值得注意的是，分数量子霍尔效应和高温超导体的研究利用二维分数统计的概念来描述一种独特的新的物质状态。该基金将支持利用高能物理的理论形式研究各种强相互作用凝聚态系统之间的联系。

Theoretical research will be conducted on the physical properties of strongly correlated quantum liquids. In particular, work will be done on experimental implications of the chiral spin states and other spin liquid states; edge states and the topological order in the fractional quantum Hall states; and, strongly correlated metals in quasi-one-dimensional systems and quasi-two-dimensional systems. The theoretical approach will utilize field theoretic methods. %%% Recent advances in condensed matter theory have emphasized the unity of strongly interacting many-body systems in spatial dimensions less than three. Of noteworthy importance is the study of the fractional quantum Hall effect and high temperature superconductors using the concept of fractional statistics in two- dimensions to describe a unique and new state of matter. This grant will support research on the connections between various strongly interacting condensed matter systems using the theoretical formalism developed for high energy physics.
