报告摘要:
Quantum Hall edge states in proximity to a superconductor (SC) usually acquire a non-quantized electron-to-hole conversion probability in transport, due to non-universal SC couplings and disorders. We show that the situation can be the opposite in the v=2/3 fractional quantum Hall (FQH) edge states with SC proximity, where disordered SC-couplings can drive the edge states into an infinite set of stable phases with quantized electron-to-hole conversion probability along a long edge. Each phase is dominated by a disordered SC-coupling that tunnels q_N Cooper pairs. We predict that this gives rise to a quantized downstream resistance in an FQH-SC junction, serving as a quantized electrical transport signature beyond the Hall conductance. Higher-order nonlinear transport due to irrelevant Cooper pair tunnelings or vortex dissipations is further studied, which becomes dominant when the edge is in a normal phase. Our results reveal a rich landscape of disorder-stabilized phases in FQH edge states with SC proximity, which may as well apply to the recently experimentally realized fractional Chern insulator.
