Fractional chern insulators are a class of quantum states that exhibit fractionalized topological order and can occur in two-dimensional systems subjected to strong magnetic fields. They generalize the concept of fractional quantum Hall states by allowing for the existence of fractional quantized Hall conductance, even in the absence of an external magnetic field, driven by the intrinsic topological properties of the band structure.
congrats on reading the definition of Fractional Chern Insulators. now let's actually learn it.
