Synthesizing a ν=2/3 fractional quantum Hall effect edge state from counter-propagating ν=1 and ν=1/3 states

The boundaries of fractional quantum Hall states can host multiple, interacting one-dimensional edge modes, which test our understanding of strongly interacting systems. Here the authors observe the edge-mode equilibration transition that was predicted for the ν=2/3 fractional quantum Hall state.
