Position exchange of non-Abelian anyons affects the quantum state of their system in a topologically-protected way. Their expected manifestations in even-denominator fractional quantum Hall (FQH) systems offer the opportunity to directly…

We consider anyonic quasiparticles with charge e/2 described by the {\nu} = 1/2 chiral Luttinger liquid, which collide in a Hong-Ou-Mandel-like interferometer. These colliding anyonic channels can be formally viewed as hosting Laughlin-like…

We study a multi-functional device for cold atoms consisting of a three-terminal ring circuit pierced by a synthetic magnetic flux, where the ring can be continuous or discretized. The flux controls the atomic current through the ring via…

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…
