Fractionalization of Charge and Statistics in Two Dimensions
Online Presentations | 14 Dec 2022 | Contributor(s): Michael J. Manfra
This lecture will focus on the development of experiments that allow the first direct observation of anyonic braiding statistics in the fractional quantum Hall regime. The connection between development of new theoretical concepts and the behavior of a humble transistor will be emphasized.
Aharonov-Bohm Interference of Fractional Quantum Hall Edge Modes
Online Presentations | 20 Jun 2019 | Contributor(s): Michael J. Manfra
The braiding statistics of certain fractional quantum Hall states can be probed via interferometry of their edge states. Practical difficulties – including loss of phase coherence – make this a challenging task. We demonstrate the operation of a small Fabry-Perot interferometer in...
