In FQHE, the fractional charge comes from magnetic resonances of the magnetic field forming paired vortexes. This resonance based quasi-particle formation process produces particles in all cases including electrons, quarks, gluons, and the rest.
The explanation of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect (FQHE) The explanation of FQHE in view of Laughlin’s ideas is that there exist fillings (or, equivalently, magnetic field densities) at which the electron gas is particularly stable and condenses into a special ground state with high correlation. The slight deviations from these fillings result in quasi-particle excitations which carry fractional charge. As these excitations get pinned by the impurities and disorder present in the real samples, they do not contribute to the current. The conductance therefore does not change with the filling until the value of the filling for next stable ground state is reached.
