摘要
We use conformal field theory to construct model wavefunctions for an interface between lattice versions of a bosonic $\nu=1/2$ Laughlin state and a fermionic $\nu=5/2$ Moore-Read state. The properties of the resulting model state, such as particle density, correlation function and R\'enyi entanglement entropy are then studied using the Monte Carlo approach. Moreover, we construct the wavefunctions also for localized anyonic excitations (quasiparticles and quasiholes). We study their density profile, charge and statistics. We show that, similarly to the Laughlin-Laughlin case studied earlier, some anyons (the Laughlin Abelian ones) can cross the interface, while others (the non-Abelian ones) lose their anyonic character in such a process. Also, we argue that, under an assumption of local particle exchange, multiple interfaces give rise to a topological degeneracy, which can be interpreted as originating from Majorana zero modes.
