Anyon Condensation and Continuous Topological Phase Transitions in Non-Abelian Fractional Quantum Hall States

We find a series of possible continuous quantum phase transitions between fractional quantum Hall states at the same filling fraction in two-component quantum Hall systems. These can be driven by tuning the interlayer tunneling and/or interlayer repulsion. One side of the transition is the Halperin...
