We propose several experiments to test the non-abelian nature of quasi-particles in the fractional quantum Hall state of \nu=5/2. One set of experiments studies interference contribution to back-scattering of current, and is a simplified…
We have tested Haldane's ``fractional-Pauli-principle'' description of excitations around the $\nu = 1/3$ state in the FQHE, using exact results for small systems of electrons. We find that Haldane's prediction $\beta = \pm 1/m$ for…

We calculate the dynamical structure factor of the \nu=5/2 non-abelian quantum Hall state in the dipole approximation, valid for large momenta. Due to the fact that both quasi-particles (qps) and quasi-holes (qhs) have an internal Majorana…
We study the scaling behavior in the tunneling amplitude when quasiparticles tunnel along a straight path between the two edges of a fractional quantum Hall annulus. Such scaling behavior originates from the propagation and tunneling of…
A microscopic confirmation of the fractional statistics of the {\em quasiparticles} in the fractional quantum Hall effect has so far been lacking. We calculate the statistics of the composite-fermion quasiparticles at $\nu=1/3$ and…
We use exact numerical diagonalization in the search of fractional quantum Hall states with non-Abelian quasiparticle statistics. For the (most promising) states in a partially filled second Landau level, the search is narrowed to the range…

Quasiparticles, which obey non abelian statistics, were predicted to exist in different physical systems, but are yet to be observed directly. Possible candidate states, which are expected to support such quasiparticles, are the {\nu}=8/3,…
