Anyon Exchange Phase from Antidot Interferometry
Abstract
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 that consistently includes the occupation and level broadening of the antidot, we find that the transmission phase evolves non-monotonically when a gate voltage tunes the antidot through a resonance, in contrast to the monotonic evolution for electrons. The bare exchange phase can be extracted from the difference between the phase plateaus.
