The on-demand emission of coherent and indistinguishable electrons by independent synchronized sources is a challenging task quantum electronics, in particular regarding its application for information processing. Using two electron sources, we trigger the single-electron wavepackets at different inputs an electronic beamsplitter. Whereas classical particles would be randomly partitioned splitter, observe two-particle interferences resulting from exchange. Both electrons, emitted with...

What is the complex impedance of a fully coherent quantum resistance-capacitance (RC) circuit at gigahertz frequencies in which resistor and capacitor are connected series? While Kirchhoff's laws predict addition impedances, we report on observation different behavior. The resistance, here associated with charge relaxation, differs from usual transport resistance given by Landauer formula. In particular, for single-mode conductor, charge-relaxation half quantum, regardless transmission mode....

Quantum physics predicts that there is a fundamental maximum heat conductance across single transport channel, and this thermal quantum $G_Q$ universal, independent of the type particles carrying heat. Such universality, combined with relationship between information, signals general limit on information transfer.

Two-dimensional systems can host exotic particles called anyons whose quantum statistics are neither bosonic nor fermionic. For example, the elementary excitations of fractional Hall effect at filling factor $\nu=1/m$ (where m is an odd integer) have been predicted to obey abelian statistics, with a phase $\varphi$ associated exchange two equal $\pi/m$. However, despite numerous experimental attempts, clear signatures remain elusive. Here we experimentally demonstrate $\nu=1/3$ by measuring...

One of two edge channels is driven out-of-equilibrium and resulting distribution measured outer channel, after several propagation lengths $0.8~\mu$m$\leq L\leq30~\mu$m. Whereas there are no discernable transfers toward thermalized states, we find efficient redistribution between without particle exchanges. At long distances $L\geq10~\mu$m, a hot Fermi function...

Abstract Characterizing quantum states of the electromagnetic field at microwave frequencies requires fast and sensitive detectors that can simultaneously probe field’s time-dependent amplitude its fluctuations. So far, this has been achieved by using either homodyne detection or digitizers. Both methods rely on extraction radiation through an amplification chain towards detector placed room temperature, thereby limiting time resolution to ~10-GHz bandwidth measurement chain. Additionally,...
