Columbia University researchers report that they have
observed a quantum fluid known as the fractional quantum Hall
states (FQHS), one of the most delicate phases of matter, for the
first time in a monolayer 2-D semiconductor. Their findings
demonstrate the excellent intrinsic quality of 2-D semiconductors
and establish them as a unique test platform for future
applications in quantum computing. The study was published online
today in Nature Nanotechnology.
