We study theoretically nonequilibrium noise in the fractional quantum Hall regime for an Aharonov-Bohm ring with a third contact in the middle of the ring. Because of their fractional statistics the tunneling of Laughlin quasiparticles between the inner and outer edges of the ring changes the effective Aharonov-Bohm flux experienced by quasiparticles going around the ring, leading to a change in the conductance across the ring. A small current in the middle contact, therefore, gives rise to fluctuations in the current flowing across the ring which resemble random telegraph noise. We analyze this noise using the chiral Luttinger liquid model. At low frequencies the telegraph noise varies inversely with the tunneling current and can be much larger than the shot noise. We propose that combining the Aharonov-Bohm effect with a noise measurement provides a direct method for observing fractional statistics.
