Quantum Hall effect in noncommutative quantum mechanics
Abstract
We study the quantum Hall (QH) effect for an electron moving in a plane whose coordinates and momenta are noncommuting under the influence of uniform external magnetic and electric fields. After solving the time independent Schrödinger equation both on a noncommutative space (NCS) and a noncommutative phase space (NCPS), we obtain the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the relevant Hamiltonian. We derive the electric current whose expectation value gives the QH effect both on a NCS and a NCPS.
