Explore the topological thermal Hall conductance of even denominator fractional states in this lecture delivered by Prof. Moty Heiblum from the Weizmann Institute of Science at the Princeton Summer School for Condensed Matter Physics. Delve into the fundamental principles governing thermal transport in fractional quantum Hall systems, with particular emphasis on even denominator states and their unique topological properties. Learn about the theoretical framework underlying thermal Hall conductance measurements and their significance in understanding exotic quantum phases of matter. Examine experimental techniques used to probe thermal transport in two-dimensional electron systems and discover how these measurements provide crucial insights into the nature of fractional quantum Hall states. Understand the connection between topological order and thermal transport phenomena, including the role of edge states and bulk-boundary correspondence in determining thermal conductance. Investigate the implications of these findings for our understanding of non-Abelian quantum states and their potential applications in topological quantum computing. Gain insights into current research challenges and future directions in the field of topological thermal transport in strongly correlated electron systems.
