The pseudo-spin model for double layer quantum Hall system with total landau level filling factor $\nu=1$ is discussed. Unlike the "traditional" one where interlayer voltage enters as static magnetic field along pseudo- spin hard axis, in…
We revisit the physics of electron gas bilayers in the quantum Hall regime [Nature, 432 (2004) 691; Science, 305 (2004) 950], where transport and tunneling measurements provided evidence of a superfluid phase being present in the system.…
The spin and layer (pseudospin) degrees of freedom are entangled coherently in the canted antiferromagnetic phase of the bilayer quantum Hall system at the filling factor $\nu =2$. There emerges a complex Goldstone mode describing such a…
The bilayer quantum Hall system at a total filling of $\nu_T=1$ has long resisted explanation in terms of a true counterflow superfluid, though many experimental features can be seen to be "almost" that of a superfluid. It is widely…
We describe a new phase transition of the bilayer quantum Hall ferromagnet at filling fraction $\nu = 1$. In the presence of static disorder (modeled by a periodic potential), bosonic $S=1/2$ spinons can undergo a superfluid-insulator…
The tilting angular dependence of the energy gap was measured in the bilayer quantum Hall state at the Landau level filling $\nu=1$ by changing the density imbalance between the two layers. The observed gap behavior shows a continuous…
Spontaneous order of layer pseudospins in two-dimensional bilayers is common in quantum Hall systems, where it is responsible for hysteretic responses to gate fields in states with Ising order, and giant drag voltages in states with XY…
Bilayer quantum Hall systems have a broken symmetry ground state at filling factor $\nu=1$ which can be viewed either as an excitonic superfluid or as a pseudospin ferromagnet. We present a theory of inter-layer transport in quantum Hall…
We consider bilayer quantum Hall systems at total filling factor $\nu=1$ in presence of a bias voltage $\Delta_v$ which leads to different filling factors in each layer. We use auxiliary field functional integral approach to study…
In the bilayer quantum Hall system, a spontaneously charge imbalance state appears at the ground energy level. Gap in the collective excitation energy makes it stable against decoherence in macroscopic level. This state behaves as a spin…
At total filling factor $\nu=1$ quantum Hall bilayers can have an ordered ground state with spontaneous interlayer phase coherence. The ordered state is signaled experimentally by dramatically enhanced interlayer tunnel conductances at low…
We discuss and review recent advances in our understaning of quantum Hall systems where additional quantum numbers associated with spin and/or layer (pseudospin) indices play crucial roles in creating exotic quantum phases. Among the novel…
Transitions from a paired quantum Hall state to another quantum Hall state in bilayer systems are discussed in the framework of the edge theory. Starting from the edge theory for the Haldane-Rezayi state, it is shown that the charging…

We analyze bilayer quantum Hall ferromagnets, whose underlying symmetry group is SU(4). Spin-pseudospin coherence develops spontaneously when the total electron density is low enough. Quasiparticles are CP^3 skyrmions. One skyrmion induces…
The spectral functions of the pseudospin correlation functions in the bilayer quantum Hall system at \nu=1 are investigated numerically, where the pseudospin describes the layer degrees of freedom. In the pseudospin-ferromagnetic phase, the…
Magnetic fields quench the kinetic energy of two dimensional electrons, confining them to highly degenerate Landau levels. In the absence of disorder, the ground state at partial Landau level filling is determined only by Coulomb…
