TL;DR Summary
I need good resources on Quantum Hall Effect and quantum spin hall effect.
I need them short. I need them so I can understand the basics of topological insulator and semi-metal.

What references have you found so far? It would help to see what you have found, so we don't duplicate the searching that you have done already.

Also, you have marked this thread with the "A" prefix, which implies that you want references at the Advanced Graduate Physics level. Is that correct? Your other thread had the prefix changed from "A" to "B" (Basic) based on the question and your one reply in that thread:

I found S Taylor, 2015; and S Meng, 2018.
I need to grasp the papers of my professor on topological Weyl semimetal. These are computational; right now I can't afford to study any text too longer than the aforementioned ones. If it's a video, a couple of hours would be fine.

The other post was about etymology, and I just found just one useful answer. I argue that's definitely not basic.
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
