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.

Abstract

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.
