}From the scattering of semicoherent-state wavepackets at high magnetic field, we derive analytically the transmission coefficient of electrons in graphene in the quantum Hall regime through a smooth constriction described by a quadratic saddle-point electrostatic potential. We find anomalous half-quantized conductance steps that are rounded by a backscattering amplitude related to the curvature of the potential. Furthermore, the conductance in graphene breaks particle-hole symmetry in cases…

This work shows that features of both quantum Hall and gravitational systems can be elegantly captured by a simple quantum mechanical model: the inverted harmonic oscillator, and argues that radiation phenomena in gravitational situations bear a parallel with saddle-potential scattering of quantum Hall quasiparticles.
