The structure of edge modes at the boundary of quantum Hall (QH) phases forms the basis for understanding low energy transport properties. In particular, the presence of ``upstream modes, moving against the direction of charge current flow, is critical for the emergence of renormalized modes with exotic quantum statistics. Detection of excess noise at the edge is a smoking gun for the presence of upstream modes. Here we report on noise measurements at the edges of fractional QH (FQH) phases realized in dual graphite-gated bilayer graphene devices. A noiseless dc current is injected at one of the edge contacts, and the noise generated at contacts at $L= 4,mu$m or $10,mu$m away along the upstream direction is studied. For integer and particle-like FQH states, no detectable noise is measured. By contrast, for ``hole-conjugate FQH states, we detect a strong noise proportional to the injected current, unambiguously proving the existence of upstream modes. The noise magnitude remaining independent of length together with a remarkable agreement with our theoretical analysis demonstrates the ballistic nature of upstream energy transport, quite distinct from the diffusive propagation reported earlier in GaAs-based systems. Our investigation opens the door to the study of upstream transport in more complex geometries and in edges of non-Abelian phases in graphene.
When electrons are confined in two dimensions and subjected to strong magnetic fields, the Coulomb interactions between them become dominant and can lead to novel states of matter such as fractional quantum Hall liquids. In these liquids electrons li
In graphene superlattices, bulk topological currents can lead to long-range charge-neutral flow and non-local resistance near Dirac points. A ballistic version of these phenomena has never been explored. Here, we report transport properties of ballis
Counter propagating (upstream) chiral neutral edge modes, which were predicted to be present in hole-conjugate states, were observed recently in a variety of fractional quantum Hall states (v=2/3,v=3/5,v=8/3 & v=5/2), by measuring charge noise that r
We study the effect of backward scatterings in the tunneling at a point contact between the edges of a second level hierarchical fractional quantum Hall states. A universal scaling dimension of the tunneling conductance is obtained only when both of
We study proximity coupling between a superconductor and counter-propagating gapless modes arising on the edges of Abelian fractional quantum Hall liquids with filling fraction $ u=1/m$ (with $m$ an odd integer). This setup can be utilized to create
