A voltage pulse of a Lorentzian shape carrying a half of the flux quantum excites out of a zero-temperature Fermi sea an electron in a mixed state, which looks like a quasi-particle with an effectively fractional charge $e/2$. A prominent…

Electrons on the liquid helium surface form an extremely clean two dimensional system where different plasmon-excitations can coexist. Under a magnetic field time reversal symmetry is broken and all the bulk magneto-plasmons become gaped at…
