Confined to a two-dimensional plane, electrons in a strong magnetic field travel along the edge in one-dimensional quantum Hall channels that are protected against backscattering. These channels can be used as solid-state analogues of…

We report the observation of an unpredicted behavior of interfering 2D electrons in the integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) regime via a utilization of an electronic analog of the well-known Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). The beauty of…

This work was motivated by the quest for observing interference of fractionally charged quasi particles. Here, we study the behavior of an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) at the integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) regime at…

We propose a simple physical model which describes dephasing in the electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer at filling factor 2. This model explains very recent experimental results, such as the unusual lobe-type structure in the visibility…

A theoretical non-pertubative treatment is developed to explain the dephasing of electrons in the electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer via interaction with a near-by partitioned electronic channel, which acts as a "which path" detector.…

We study dephasing in an electronic Mach-Zehnder (MZ) interferometer based on quantum Hall (QH) edge states by a micromiter-sized Ohmic contact embedded in one of its arms. We find that at the filling factor $\nu=1$, as well as in the case…

We develop a theoretical description of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer built from integer quantum Hall edge states, with an emphasis on how electron-electron interactions produce decoherence. We calculate the visibility of interference…

We demonstrate a 2-grating free electron Mach-Zehnder interferometer constructed in a transmission electron microscope. A symmetric binary phase grating and condenser lens system forms two spatially separated, focused probes at the sample…

We study nonequilibrium dephasing in an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer. We demonstrate that the shot noise at the beam splitter of the interferometer generates an ensemble of nonequilibrium electron density configurations and that…

We consider tunneling between two edges of Quantum Hall liquids (QHL) of filling factors $\nu_{0,1}=1/(2 m_{0,1}+1)$, with $m_0 \geq m_1\geq 0$, through two point contacts forming Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Quasi-particle description of…

We investigate the temperature and voltage dependence of the quantum interference in an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer using edge channels in the integer quantum-Hall-regime. The amplitude of the interference fringes is…

In a 'controlled dephasing' experiment [1-3], an interferometer loses its coherence due to entanglement with a controlled quantum system ('which path' detector). In experiments that were conducted thus far in mesoscopic systems only partial…

We use a novel scanning electron Mach-Zehnder interferometer constructed in a conventional transmission electron microscope to perform inelastic interferometric imaging with free electrons. An electron wave function is prepared in two paths…

We develop the theory of electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometers built from quantum Hall edge states at Landau level filling factor \nu = 2, which have been investigated in a series of recent experiments and theoretical studies. We show…

We study theoretically electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometers built from integer quantum Hall edge states, showing that the results of recent experiments can be understood in terms of multiparticle interference effects. These experiments…

Due to their high energy, hot electrons in quantum Hall edge states can be considered as single particles that have the potential to be used for quantum optics-like experiments. Unlike photons, however, electrons typically undergo…

We experimentally demonstrate optical Mach-Zehnder interferometer utilizing displaced Sagnac configuration to enhance its phase stability. The interferometer with footprint of 27x40 cm offers individually accessible paths and shows phase…

A non-perturbative treatment is developed for the dephasing produced by the shot noise of a one- dimensional electron channel. It is applied to two systems: a charge qubit and the electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer, both of them…

We consider a ballistic Mach-Zehnder interferometer for electrons propagating chirally in one dimension (such as in an integer Quantum Hall effect edge channel). In such a system, dephasing occurs when the finite range of the interaction…

We present a numerical study of a multichannel electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer, based on magnetically-driven non-interacting edge states. The electron path is defined by a full-scale potential landscape on the two-dimensional…
