Fabry-Pérot interferometry with stochastic anyonic sources
We investigate the interference of Laughlin quasiparticles (QPs) in the fractional quantum Hall regime that are stochastically injected into a Fabry--Pérot interferometer. We find that the effective Aharonov--Bohm (AB) phase accumulated along the interferometer loop acquires an additional contribution of $\sin(2πλ)/2$ per QP present on it, where $πλ$ is the QP exchange phase. This contribution originates from time-domain braiding processes associated with injected QPs passing the interferometer quantum point contacts. In the limit of symmetric QP injection, the tunneling current noise exhibits AB oscillations as a function of the total injected current, providing access to the exchange phase $πλ$. In the regime of large total injection, we identify a universal Fano factor that displays power-law scaling and a characteristic phase shift reflecting time-domain QP braiding at the interferometer QPCs. These results are relevant for accessing anyonic exchange statistics in mesoscopic interferometers.
