Abstract
We propose that a pseudospin ferromagnetic (i.e inter-wire coherent) state can exist in a system of two parallel wires of finite width in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. This novel quantum many-body state appears when the inter wire distance decreases below a certain critical value which depends on the magnetic field. We determine the phase boundary of the ferromagnetic phase by analyzing the softening of the spin-mode velocity using the bosonization approach. We also discuss signatures of this state in tunneling and Coulomb drag experiments.
