Quantum Hall bilayer phase diagram with respect to interlayer distance bears a remarkable similarity with phase diagrams of strongly correlated systems as a function of doping, with magnetic ordering on the one end and Fermi-liquid-like…
We study meron quasiparticle excitations in the \nu = 1 quantum Hall bilayer. Considering the well known single meron state, we introduce its effective form, valid in the longdistance limit. That enables us to propose two (and more) meron…

Topologically-ordered matter is a novel quantum state of matter observed only in a small number of physical systems, notably two-dimensional electron systems exhibiting fractional quantum Hall effects. It was recently proposed that a simple…
When a gas of electrons is confined to two dimensions, application of a strong magnetic field may lead to startling phenomena such as emergence of electron pairing. According to a theory this manifests itself as appearance of the fractional…
Topology is key in describing unconventional quantum phases of matter and devising robust quantum technology. Exactly how topology mixes with quantum mechanics remains largely unclear, as testified by the lack of a unifying microscopic…
The abelian hierarchy of quantum Hall states accounts for most of the states in the lowest Landau level, and there is evidence of a similar hierarchy of non-abelian states emanating from the {\nu} = 5/2 Moore-Read state in the second Landau…
We consider spin-polarized electrons in a single Landau level on a cylinder as the circumference of the cylinder goes to infinity. This gives a model of interacting electrons on a circle where the momenta of the particles are restricted and…
We derive the low-energy theory of semi-quantized quantum Hall states, a recently observed class of gapless bilayer fractional quantum Hall states. Our theory shows these states to feature gapless quasiparticles of fractional charge coupled…
Motivated by the experiments on double monolayer graphene that observe a variety of fractional quantum Hall states [Liu et al., Nat. Phys. 15, 893 (2019); Li et al., Nat. Phys. 15, 898 (2019)], we study the special setting in which two…
We present a detailed study of the ground-state entanglement in disordered fractional quantum Hall liquids. We consider electrons at various filling fractions $f$ in the lowest Landau level, with Coulomb interactions. At $f=1/3,1/5$ and…
Topological order has become a new paradigm to distinguish ground states of interacting many-body systems without conventional long-range order. Here we discuss possible extensions of this concept to density matrices describing statistical…
The physics of the fractional quantum Hall effect is the physics of interacting electrons confined to a macroscopically degenerate Landau level. In this Chapter we discuss the theory of the quantum Hall effect in systems where the electrons…
In the strong magnetic field fractional quantum Hall regime, electrons in a two-dimensional electron system are confined to their lowest Landau level. Because of the macroscopic Landau level degeneracy nearly all physical properties at low…
A key property of topologically ordered systems, such as Quantum Hall states, is the existence of excitations obeying fractional quantum statistics - anyons. We develop a theory for multicomponent counterflow states where an ordinary…
A model system is considered where two dimensional electrons are confined by a harmonic potential in one direction, and are free in the other direction. Ground state in strong magnetic fields is investigated through numerical…
