Fractional charges on an integer quantum Hall edge

Abstract

We propose ways to create and detect fractionally charged excitations in integer quantum Hall edge states. The charge fractionalization occurs due to the Coulomb interaction between electrons propagating on different edge channels. The fractional charge of the soliton-like collective excitations can be observed in time resolved or frequency dependent shot noise measurements.
