Abstract: | We study the quantum theory of two-dimensional electrons in a magnetic field and an electric field generated by a homogeneous
background. The dynamics separates into a microscopic and a macroscopic mode. The latter is a circular Hall current which
is described by a chiral quantum field theory. It is shown how in this second-quantized picture a Laughlin-type wave function
emerges.
