We propose several experiments to test the non-Abelian nature of quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall state at $\ensuremath{\nu}=5/2$. In a simplified version of the experiment suggested by [S. Das Sarma, M. Freedman, and C. Nayak, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 166802 (2005).], interference is turned on and off when the …
