Abstract

Intertwining intrinsic topological order with gapless collective modes remains a central challenge in many-body physics. We show that a quantum-Hall trilayer at ν1=ν2=ν3=13\nu_{1}=\nu_{2}=\nu_{3}= \frac13, tuned solely by the inter-layer spacing dd, realizes this goal. Large-scale density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculations and a Chern-Simons field theory analysis reveal an intermediate ``anyon-exciton condensate'' separating the familiar νtot=1\nu_{\mathrm{tot}}=1 exciton condensate (d0d \to 0) from three decoupled Laughlin liquids (dd \to \infty). In this phase, neutral bi-excitons condense while a ν=23\nu=\frac23 Laughlin topological order survives, yielding a Goldstone mode coexisting with fractionalized anyons. A Ginzburg-Landau analysis maps out the finite-temperature phase diagram. The anyon-exciton condensate can be experimentally verified through a vanishing double-counter-flow resistance and a fractional layer-resolved Hall resistivity Rxy=52h/e2R_{xy}=\frac{5}{2} h/e^{2}, both within reach of existing high-mobility trilayer devices.
