We report experimental realization of a quasiparticle interferometer where the entire system is in 1/3 primary fractional quantum Hall state. The interferometer consists of chiral edge channels coupled by quantum-coherent tunneling in two constrictions, thus enclosing an Aharonov-Bohm area. We observe magnetic flux and charge periods h/e and e/3, equivalent to the creation of one quasielectron in the island. Quantum theory predicts a 3h/e flux period for charge e/3, integer statistics particles. Thus, the observed periods demonstrate the anyonic braiding statistics of Laughlin quasiparticles.
我们报告了一种准粒子干涉仪的实验实现,其中整个系统处于1/3主分数量子霍尔态。该干涉仪由在两个缩颈处通过量子相干隧穿耦合的手性边缘通道组成,从而围成一个阿哈罗诺夫 - 玻姆面积。我们观察到磁通和电荷周期分别为h/e和e/3,这相当于在岛内产生一个准电子。量子理论预测,对于电荷为e/3的整数统计粒子,磁通周期为3h/e。因此,观察到的周期证明了劳克林准粒子的任意子编织统计特性。
