Numerical renormalization group method for quantum impurity systems

R Bulla, TA Costi, T Pruschke - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2008 - APS
In the early 1970s, Wilson developed the concept of a fully nonperturbative renormalization
group transformation. When applied to the Kondo problem, this numerical renormalization …

Non-Abelian adiabatic statistics and Hall viscosity in quantum Hall states and paired superfluids

N Read - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2009 - APS
Many trial wave functions for fractional quantum Hall states in a single Landau level are
given by functions called conformal blocks, taken from some conformal field theory. Also …

Anyons and the quantum Hall effect—A pedagogical review

A Stern - Annals of Physics, 2008 - Elsevier
The dichotomy between fermions and bosons is at the root of many physical phenomena,
from metallic conduction of electricity to super-fluidity, and from the periodic table to coherent …

Giant optical Faraday rotation induced by a single-electron spin in a quantum dot: applications to entangling remote spins via a single photon

CY Hu, A Young, JL O'brien, WJ Munro… - Physical Review B …, 2008 - APS
