Electrons and holes on opposite sides of a double quantum well attract each other but a bound state does not form unless the interaction is strong compared to the kinetic energy. This can be achieved in the quantum Hall regime where electrons occupy narrow Landau bands. The condensation of these excitons is believed to give rise to dissipationless flow for currents in opposite directions in the two wells. I will review the status of experimental evidence and discuss theoretical models.
