Effect of the Soliton Width on Nonequilibrium Exchange Phases of Anyons

Unlike bosons and fermions, quasiparticles in two-dimensional quantum systems, known as anyons, exhibit statistical exchange phases that range between 0 and π. In fractional quantum Hall states, these anyons, possessing a fraction of the electron charge, traverse along chiral edge channels. This movement facilitates the creation of anyon colliders, where coupling different edge channels through a quantum point contact enables the observation of two-particle interference effects. Such configurations are instrumental in deducing the anyonic exchange phase via current cross-correlations. Prior theoretical models represented dilute anyon beams as discrete steps in the boson fields. However, our study reveals that incorporating the finite width of the soliton shape is crucial for accurately interpreting recent experiments, especially for collider experiments involving anyons with exchange phases θ>π/2, where prior theories fall short.
