Dissipation and dephasing in quantum Hall interferometers
arXiv:2410.21756 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.110.085411
Abstract
In recent years, counter-intuitive results have shown that the quantum Hall edge states with topological protection can be dissipative. In this paper, we point out that the non-equilibrium nature of edge states in quantum Hall interferometers leads to inevitable dissipation. We consider a graphene interferometer operating in the integer quantum Hall regime and simulate the inelastic scattering that causes both dissipation and dephasing in the interferometer using non-equilibrium Green's function and virtual leads. We describe the dissipation process with the numerical results of the spatial distribution of heat generation and the evolution of electron energy distribution. In addition, with the enhancement of dephasing, a competition between Aharonov-Bohm interference and topologically protected quantized Hall plateaus is observed in the oscillations and fluctuations of the Hall resistances. At a suitable dephasing strength, quantum Hall plateaus can be promoted by dephasing. Our results not only give clues for the design of dissipation-free devices but also provide a platform for studying the non-equilibrium relaxation and the dissipation mechanism of topological states.
