Abstract

Read online

The evolution of the quantum Hall state from bulk spectrum to edge state remains obscure. Here, Patlatiuk and Scheller et al. observe magnetic compression against a hard edge followed by motion into the bulk and depopulation of the integer quantum Hall edge states, in agreement with the bulk-to-edge correspondence.
