Matrix-Product Ansatz for Excited States of Fractional Quantum Hall Systems
Abstract
Recently, it was discussed that the =1/3 fractional quantum Hall state can be expressed by a one-dimensional lattice model with an exact matrix-prduct ground state, when toroidal boundary conditions are assumed for a narrow strip [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109 (2012) 016401]. In this article, we discuss how the excitation spectra of this system are calculated analytically based on the matrix-product formalism. We introduce variational wave functions for various momenta and optimize them. The obtained spectra of the charge neutral excitations show the magneto-roton behavior.
