Detecting Non-Abelian Anyons by Charging Spectroscopy
Observation of non-Abelian statistics for the quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall state remains an outstanding experimental problem. The non-Abelian statistics are linked to the presence of additional low energy states in a system with localized quasiparticles, and, hence, an additional low temperature entropy. Recent experiments, which detect changes in the number of quasiparticles trapped in a local potential well as a function of an applied gate voltage, VG, provide a possibility for measuring this entropy, if carried out over a suitable range of temperatures, T. We present a microscopic model for quasiparticles in a potential well and study the effects of non-Abelian statistics on the charge stability diagram in the VG−T plane, including broadening at finite temperature. We predict a measurable slope for the first quasiparticle charging line and an even-odd effect in the diagram, which is a signature of non-Abelian statistics.Engineering and Applied SciencesPhysic
Local bulk operators in AdS/CFT: a boundary view of horizons and locality
We develop the representation of local bulk fields in AdS by non-local
operators on the boundary, working in the semiclassical limit and using AdS_2
as our main example. In global coordinates we show that the boundary operator
has support only at points which are spacelike separated from the bulk point.
We construct boundary operators that represent local bulk operators inserted
behind the horizon of the Poincare patch and inside the Rindler horizon of a
two dimensional black hole. We show that these operators respect bulk locality
and comment on the generalization of our construction to higher dimensional AdS
black holes.Comment: 28 pages, 4 figures, late
