Matrix Product States and the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect (N. Regnault)

We will show that many fractional quantum Hall states have an exact infinite matrix product states (MPS) representation. We will discuss how a controlled truncation can be performed on this representation and we will give a natural interpretation from the entanglement spectrum perspective. Through the MPS, we will give evidences why certain model states related to non-unitary conformal field theories, are pathological. We will also show the direct characterization of the Read-Rezayi quasihole excitations from their MPS description.
