Journal ArticleWe propose that a pseudospin ferromagnetic (i.e., interwire coherent) state can exist in a system of two parallel wires of finite width in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. This novel quantum many-body state appears when the interwire distance decreases below a certain critical value which depends on the magnetic field. We determine the phase boundary of the ferromagnetic phase by analyzing the softening of the spin-mode velocity using the bosonization approach.We also discuss the signatures of this state in tunneling and Coulomb drag experiments
