abstract
Recently introduced ''fuzzy sphere'' method has enabled accurate numerical regularizations of certain three-dimensional (3D) conformal field theories (CFTs). The regularization is provided by the non-commutative geometry of the lowest Landau level filled by electrons, such that the charge is trivially gapped due to the Pauli exclusion principle at filling factor $\nu=1$, while the electron spins encode the desired CFT. Successful applications of the fuzzy sphere to paradigmatic CFTs, such as the 3D Ising model, raise an important question: how finely tuned does the underlying electron system need to be? Here, we show that the 3D Ising CFT can also be realized at fractional electron fillings. In such cases, the CFT spectrum is intertwined with the charge-neutral spectrum of the underlying fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state -- a feature that is trivially absent in the previously studied $\nu=1$ case. Remarkably, we show that the mixing between the CFT spectrum and the FQH spectrum is strongly suppressed within the numerically-accessible system sizes. Moreover, we demonstrate that the CFT critical point is unaffected by the exchange statistics of the particles and by the nature of topological order in the charge sector. Our results set the stage for the fuzzy-sphere exploration of conformal critical points between topologically-ordered states.

Chern-Simons-matter conformal field theory on fuzzy sphere: Confinement transition of Kalmeyer-Laughlin chiral spin liquid
A fuzzy-sphere exact diagonalization study shows the fIQH to bFQH transition is continuous, with emergent conformal symmetry and a single relevant singlet of scaling dimension Delta_S = 1.52(18).

Conformal Operator Flows of the Deconfined Quantum Criticality from $\mathrm{SO}(5)$ to $\mathrm{O}(4)$
A relevant scalar operator S persists from SO(5) to O(4) deconfined quantum criticality on the fuzzy sphere, indicating the O(4) transition is pseudo-critical rather than a genuine fixed point.

Conformal scalar field theory from Ising tricriticality on the fuzzy sphere
A bilayer quantum Hall fuzzy-sphere model, tuned to an Ising tricritical point, realizes the conformally coupled free scalar CFT, verified by matching spectra, operator content, and bosonic algebra.

The $O(N)$ Free-Scalar and Wilson-Fisher Conformal Field Theories on the Fuzzy Sphere
Fuzzy-sphere Hamiltonians realize the O(2), O(3) and O(4) Wilson-Fisher and free-scalar CFTs numerically, with spectra and correlators matching conformal bootstrap expectations.
