Using information markers like entanglement, quantum fluctuations, fidelity susceptibility, participation ration, area in phase space, etc., we realize that higher Landau levels (LL) feel the topological phase transition slightly displaced with regard to the edge state, thus leading to the concept of “higher Landau level TPT”, as “echoes” of the standard edge state TPT. We compute the critical magnetic field and the critical HgTe layer thickness at which these information measures of higher Landau levels undergo a structural change.
