With counterpropagating modes, we show that the situation can be the opposite in the ν=2/3 fractional quantum Hall (FQH) edge states with SC proximity, where disordered SC couplings can reconstruct the edge states into an infinite set of stable phases with quantized electron-to-hole conversion probability along a long edge. Each phase is dominated by a disordered SC coupling that tunnels ±|q_{N}| Cooper pairs, which can take values |q_{N}|=1, 4, 15, etc. We predict that this gives rise to a quantized downstream resistance R_{d}=h/(2q_{N}^{2}e^{2}) in an FQH-SC junction, serving as a quantized electrical transport signature beyond the Hall conductance. Higher-order nonlinear transport due to irrelevant Cooper pair tunneling or vortex dissipation is further studied, which becomes dominant when the edge is in a normal phase. Our results apply to both the single-layer state (as a particle-hole conjugate of ν=1/3) and the bilayer Halperin-(112) state, revealing a rich landscape of disorder-stabilized phases in FQH edge states with SC proximity, and may as well apply to fractional Chern insulators recently observed at the same filling.

Abstract

Quantum Hall edge states in proximity to a superconductor (SC) usually acquire a nonquantized electron-to-hole conversion probability in transport, due to nonuniversal SC couplings and disorders. With counterpropagating modes, we show that the situation can be the opposite in the ν=2/3 fractional quantum Hall (FQH) edge states with SC proximity, where disordered SC couplings can reconstruct the edge states into an infinite set of stable phases with quantized electron-to-hole conversion probability along a long edge. Each phase is dominated by a disordered SC coupling that tunnels ±|q_{N}| Cooper pairs, which can take values |q_{N}|=1, 4, 15, etc. We predict that this gives rise to a quantized downstream resistance R_{d}=h/(2q_{N}^{2}e^{2}) in an FQH-SC junction, serving as a quantized electrical transport signature beyond the Hall conductance. Higher-order nonlinear transport due to irrelevant Cooper pair tunneling or vortex dissipation is further studied, which becomes dominant when the edge is in a normal phase. Our results apply to both the single-layer state (as a particle-hole conjugate of ν=1/3) and the bilayer Halperin-(112) state, revealing a rich landscape of disorder-stabilized phases in FQH edge states with SC proximity, and may as well apply to fractional Chern insulators recently observed at the same filling.
