We propose noise oscillation measurements in a double point contact, accessible with current technology, to seek for a signature of the non-abelian nature of the ν = 5/2 quantum Hall state. Calculating the voltage and temperature dependence of the current and noise oscillations, we predict the non-abelian nature to materialize through a multiplicity of the possible outcomes: two qualitatively different frequency dependences of the nonzero interference noise. Comparison between our predictions for the Moore–Read state with experiments on ν = 5/2 will serve as a much needed test for the nature of the ν = 5/2 quantum Hall state.
We study non-equilibrium noise in the tunnelling current between the edges of\na quantum Hall liquid in the Pfaffian state, which is a strong candidate for\nthe plateau at $\\nu...
We present a new class of non-abelian spin-singlet quantum Hall states, generalizing Halperin's abelian spin-singlet states and the Read-Rezayi non-abelian quantum Hall states f...
Non-Abelian anyons exist in certain spin models and may exist in quantum Hall systems at certain filling fractions. In this work, we studied the ground state of dynamical SU(2) ...
A theory of electron oscillations of an unbounded plasma of uniform ion density is developed, taking into account the effects of random thermal motions, but neglecting collision...
We analyze the Moore-Read Pfaffian state on a thin torus. The known six-fold\ndegeneracy is realized by two inequivalent crystalline states with a four- and\ntwo-fold degeneracy...
