Abstract

This paper proposes the possibility of a new kind of superconductivity in the fractional quantum Hall effect, where n-tuplets of bosons, as opposed to single bosons, undergo Bose-Einstein condensation. The bosons themselves are not ordinary bosons, but rather composite bosons, formed from the binding of electrons with three quantized vortices. The authors show that the 7/3 fractional quantum Hall effect can potentially host this exotic superconducting topological order.
