Description
We demonstrate the experimental feasibility of incompressible fractional quantum Hall-like states in ultracold two-dimensional rapidly rotating dipolar Fermi gases. In particular, we argue that the state of the system at filling fraction ν=1/3 is well described by the Laughlin wave function and find a substantial energy gap in the quasiparticle excitation spectrum. Dipolar gases, therefore, appear as natural candidates of systems that allow us to realize these very interesting highly correlated states in future experiments
