We show that an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring with asymmetric electron injection can act as a coherent detector of electron dephasing. The presence of a dephasing source in one of the two arms of a moderately-to-highly asymmetric ring changes the…

In the comment by Konig, Gefen, and Silva, their main point is to question the approximation we used in solving the Green's function. They believe that this approximative method is inappropriate to describe spin-flip-related dephasing…
