Hong-Ou-Mandel experiment for temporal investigation of single-electron fractionalization
Hong-Ou-Mandel experiment for temporal investigation of single-electron fractionalization
Coulomb interaction has a striking effect on electronic propagation in one dimensional conductors. The interaction of an elementary excitation with neighboring conductors favors the emergence of collective modes which eventually leads to the destruction of the Landau quasiparticle. In this process, an injected electron tends to fractionalize into separated pulses …
