Here I use exact diagonalization as well as configuration space renormalization (CSR) to study finite clusters which are large enough to contain two independent edges. I analyze the conditions of resonant tunneling between the two edges. The \"computer experiment\" reveals a periodic sequence of resonant tunneling events consistent with the experimentally observed fractional quantization of electric charge in units of e/3 and e/5.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-08-10T20:59:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fractional quantum hall regime", "fractional charge", "computer simulations", "fractional quantum hall effect", "study finite clusters" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
