Fractional Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect and Chiral Superconductivity in Graphene — •Long Ju — MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA

Condensed matter physics has witnessed emergent quantum phenomena driven by electron correlation and topology. Two prominent examples are Fractional Quantum Hall Effect and Superconductivity. In this talk, I will show how these two disparate phenomena can be unified in the simplest carbon material: a crystalline stacking order of graphene called rhombohedral stacking. Not only it can exhibit both fractional and superconducting electron physics, we observed both with a twist: the FQHE happens at zero magnetic field, therefore Fractional Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect; the superconductor is a magnet by itself, therefore Chiral Superconductor. I will discuss the origin of these states and their implications for fundatmental physics studies and topological quantum computation.
