TL;DR Summary
I need good resources on Quantum Hall Effect and quantum spin hall effect.
I need them short. I need them so I can understand the basics of topological insulator and semi-metal.

What references have you found so far? It would help to see what you have found, so we don't duplicate the searching that you have done already.

Also, you have marked this thread with the "A" prefix, which implies that you want references at the Advanced Graduate Physics level. Is that correct? Your other thread had the prefix changed from "A" to "B" (Basic) based on the question and your one reply in that thread:

I found S Taylor, 2015; and S Meng, 2018.
I need to grasp the papers of my professor on topological Weyl semimetal. These are computational; right now I can't afford to study any text too longer than the aforementioned ones. If it's a video, a couple of hours would be fine.

The other post was about etymology, and I just found just one useful answer. I argue that's definitely not basic.
 
I read Hanbury Brown and Twiss's experiment is using one beam but split into two to test their correlation. It said the traditional correlation test were using two beams........ This confused me, sorry. All the correlation tests I learnt such as Stern-Gerlash are using one beam? (Sorry if I am wrong) I was also told traditional interferometers are concerning about amplitude but Hanbury Brown and Twiss were concerning about intensity? Isn't the square of amplitude is the intensity? Please...
I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.
