For which phenomenon did Laughlin provide the first many body wave function?
double slit experiment
photoelectric effect
fractional quantum Hall effect
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
Answer
The fractional quantum Hall effect is a phenomenon observed in two-dimensional electron systems at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. It is characterized by the emergence of fractional quantized Hall plateaus in the Hall resistance, indicating the presence of quasiparticles with fractional charge and statistics.
