In this presentation, I will show experimental results of one-dimensional (1D) quantum wire realised using GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure by squeezing the two-dimensional electron gas using a pair of split gates and a top gate. Lowering confinement potential and reducing carrier concentration lead to the disappearance of the first plateau at 2e^{2/h, thus, the new ground state is at 4e}2/h, indicating a row of electrons bifurcating into two, which was confirmed with transverse electron focusing. This is the formation of the Incipient Wigner Lattice, which is expected to provide rich spin and charge phases. I will conclude by showing recent experimental results in the low-density regime or the Wigner regime, showing the emergence of non-magnetic fractional conductance plateaus (in units of e^2/h) at values of 1/6, 2/5, 1/5, etc.
