Abstract

We investigate the interference of Laughlin quasiparticles (QPs) in the fractional quantum Hall regime that are stochastically injected into a Fabry-P\'erot interferometer. We find that the effective Aharonov-Bohm (AB) phase accumulated along the interferometer loop acquires an additional contribution of sin(2πλ)/2\sin(2\pi\lambda)/2 per QP present on it, where πλ\pi\lambda is the QP exchange phase. This contribution originates from time-domain braiding processes associated with injected QPs passing the interferometer quantum point contacts. In the limit of symmetric QP injection, the tunneling current noise exhibits AB oscillations as a function of the total injected current, providing access to the exchange phase πλ\pi\lambda. In the regime of large total injection, we identify a universal Fano factor that displays power-law scaling and a characteristic phase shift reflecting real-space QP braiding along the interferometer edges. These results are relevant for accessing anyonic exchange statistics in mesoscopic interferometers.
