A disparity in the charge of quasi-particle excitations across a tunnel junction can trigger Andreev-like processes, creating an effect similar to that of a step-up transformer. We study such a junction in its strong coupling limit in the…
Anyons are exotic quasi-particles with fractional charge that can emerge as fundamental excitations of strongly interacting topological quantum phases of matter. Unlike ordinary fermions and bosons, they may obey non-abelian statistics--a…
