A theory predicts that doping a ν=2/3 fractional quantum anomalous Hall insulator with charge-2/3 anyons can drive a direct transition to a chiral topological superconductor, with a universal resistance peak, while charge-1/3 anyons produce a reentrant integer quantum Hall state.

abstract
We performed measurements of Quantum Shot Noise in order to determine the quasiparticle charge in the Fractional Quantum Hall regime. The noise is generated by a current flow through a partially transmitting Quantum Point Contact in a 2DEG. The noise is directly proportional to the charge of the quasiparticles, thus allowing direct determination of the charge. We measured Quantum Shot Noise at a filling factor of 1/3 and found that the charge is e/3; as predicted by Laughlin.
