Anyon superfluid in trilayer quantum Hall systems
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 , tuned solely by the inter-layer spacing , 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 exciton condensate () from three decoupled Laughlin liquids (). In this phase, neutral bi-excitons condense while a 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 , both within reach of existing high-mobility trilayer devices.
