Electron quantum optics in 2d topological insulators — •Andrea Spichtinger, Sven Essert, Viktor Krückl, and Klaus Richter — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Regensburg, 93040 Regensburg, Germany

Besides conventional quantum Hall systems [1], 2d topological insulators (TIs) are ideal systems providing ballistic channels for guiding charge carriers along edge states allowing for the study of two-particle interferometric effects. Employing wave-packet approaches we investigate correlations between indistinguishable spin pairs at opposite quantum spin Hall edges. Interconnecting opposite edges at TI constrictions or through quantum dots acting as ”beam splitter” allows for realizing fermionic analogues of the famous photonic Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect. In particular, we will consider generalizations of the HOM effect since the dwell time of the quantum dot enters as a new timescale into HOM physics.
