Engineering the Coherency of Fractional and Non-Abelian Electronic Interferometers
Final Report Abstract
The complex structure of fractional quantum Hall edges with ubiquitous neutral modes affects experiments deeply. In several projects we have analyzed the effect of neutral modes on quantum Hall interferometry (in both Fabry-Pérot and Mach-Zender devices), and have identified parameter regimes in which it will be possible to detect fractional interference. Recent experiments have highlighted the importance of neutral modes for heat transport, motivating us to develop a framework to study heat transport and thermally generated noise in the presence of neutral modes. In particular, we have analyzed conditions under which charge transport may be quantized while heat transport deviates from the universal value predicted by the thermal Hall conductance. All in all, we feel that this project has been successful in highlighting the complexity of the edge of FQH phases, and, at the same time, took us significantly closer to portraying a coherent picture of this rich physics. The DFG project has made it possible to deepen the collaboration between the groups of Prof. Rosenow at Leipzig university and Prof. Gefen at the Weizmann institute. In addition to the joint publications in the context of this project, mutual sabbatical stays of Prof. Rosenow in Rehovot and Prof. Gefen in Leipzig have strengthened this fruitful and continuing collaboration.
