Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 186803 (2006) [4 pages]Detecting Non-Abelian Statistics with an Electronic Mach-Zehnder InterferometerReceived 21 July 2006; published 3 November 2006 Fractionally charged quasiparticles in the quantum Hall state with a filling factor ν=5/2 are expected to obey non-Abelian statistics. We demonstrate that their statistics can be probed by transport measurements in an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The tunneling current through the interferometer exhibits a characteristic dependence on the magnetic flux and a nonanalytic dependence on the tunneling amplitudes which can be controlled by gate voltages. © 2006 The American Physical Society URL:
