Coherence of single-electron sources from Mach-Zehnder interferometry
Coherence of single-electron sources from Mach-Zehnder interferometry
A new type of electron sources has emerged which permits to inject particles in a controllable manner, one at a time, into an electronic circuit. Such single electron sources make it possible to fully exploit the particles' quantum nature. We determine the single-particle coherence length from the decay of the …
