Suppression of Visibility in a Two-Electron Mach-Zehnder Interferometer

arXiv:cond-mat/0703186 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.76.235319

Abstract

We investigate the suppression of the visibility of Aharonov-Bohm oscillations in a two-electron Mach-Zehnder interferometer that leaves the single-electron current unchanged. In the case when the sources emit either spin-polarized or entangled electrons, partial distinguishability of electrons (coming from two different sources) suppresses the visibility. Two-particle entanglement may produce behavior similar to "dephasing" of two-particle interferometry.
