Abstract

Existing quantum Hall interferometers measure twice the braiding phase, $e^{i2θ}$, of Abelian anyons, i.e. the phase accrued when one quasi-particle encircles another clockwise. We propose a modified Fabry-Pérot or Mach-Zehnder interferometer that can measure $e^{iθ}$.

    • Thank you for keeping me on my feet! You probably mean the following (note the nuance and date of the first one): https://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.12139.pdf https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-020-1019-1 I still think my point, originally about 1 electron split into 2 locations, or…
