Quantum version of the <Hall effect>.
As you increase the <magnetic field>, you can see the <Hall resistance> increase, but it does so in discrete steps.

{description=As we can see, the blue line of the <Hall resistance> TODO material, temperature, etc. It is unclear if this is just }
Gotta understand this because the name sounds cool. Maybe also because it is used to define the <fucking> <ampere in the 2019 redefinition of the SI base units>.
At least the experiment description itself is easy to understand. The hard part is the physical theory behind.
TODO <videos of all key physics experiments>[experiment video].
The effect can be separated into two modes:
* <Integer quantum Hall effect>: easier to explain from first principles
* <Fractional quantum Hall effect>: harder to explain from first principles
* <Fractional quantum Hall effect for \nu = 1 m>: <1998 Nobel Prize in Physics>
* <Fractional quantum Hall effect for \nu \ne 1 m>: one of the most important <unsolved physics problems> as of 2023
