Measurement of the Transmission Phase through a Quantum Dot Embedded in One Arm of an Electronic Mach-Zehnder Interferometer

Abstract

We investigate an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer with high visibility in the quantum Hall regime. The superposition of the electrostatic potentials from a quantum point contact (QPC) and the residual disorder potential from doping impurities frequently results in the formation of inadvertent quantum dots (QD) in one arm of the interferometer. This gives rise to resonances in the QPC transmission characteristics. While crossing the QD resonance in energy, the interferometer gains a phase shift of $\pi$ in the interference pattern.
