Anyon Exchange Phase from Antidot Interferometry (opens in new tab)
Quasiparticles in fractional quantum Hall systems are anyons, carrying a fraction of the electron charge. Exchanging two of them gives rise to a fractional exchange phase. While the fractional charge and the braiding phase -- twice the exchange phase -- have been measured, the exchange phase itself has remained inaccessible. We study a quantum antidot embedded in a Fabry-Perot interferometer. Within a systematic non-equilibrium Keldysh treatment...
