Abstract

We study the current correlations of fractional quantum Hall edges at the output of a quantum point contact subjected to a temperature gradient. This out-of-equilibrium situation gives rise to a form of temperature-activated shot noise, dubbed delta-T noise. We show that the tunneling of Laughlin quasiparticles leads to a negative delta-T noise, in stark contrast with electron tunneling. Moreover, varying the transmission of the quantum point contact or applying a voltage bias across the Hall bar may flip the sign of this noise contribution, yielding signatures that can be accessed experimentally.
