Pfaffian State

The Pfaffian State is a topological quantum state of matter realized in two-dimensional electron systems under strong magnetic fields, distinguished by its wavefunction encoding non-Abelian anyonic excitations through a Pfaffian determinant structure in the context of fractional quantum Hall effect.
