SUMMARY:Status and Outlook of Quantum Hall Interferometry Experiments: Evi
 dence of Nonabelions? - Steven H Simon\, Oxford University

DESCRIPTION:In two spatial dimensions quantum mechanical particles are not
  limited to being bosons or fermions as they are in three dimensions\, but
  can be particles known as anyons. Such anyons come in two major varieties
  - Abelian and non-Abelian - both of which were long ago predicted to be r
 ealized in certain Fractional Quantum Hall (FQH) systems.    However\, exp
 erimental demonstration of anyonic braiding properties has remained elusiv
 e and very controversial.   In this talk I report on recent study of Abeli
 an and non-Abelian statistics through Fabry-Perot interferometry.   New re
 sults (see arXiv:1112.3400) suggest strong evidence of both abelian and no
 nabelian anyons.
