Two cases are considered: a single-particle interferometer and a two-particle interferometer exploiting Coulomb interaction. In both of them, environmental noise yields a randomization of the carrier phases. Our results assess how that the complementarity relation linking single-particle behavior to nonlocal quantities, such as entanglement and environment-induced decoherence, acts in electron interferometry. We show that, in a experimental implementation of the setups examined, one- and two-electron detection probability at the output drains can be used to evaluate the decoherence phenomena and the degree of entanglement.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-12-18T09:41:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coupled 1d systems", "electron interference", "entanglement", "complementarity relation linking single-particle behavior", "two-particle interferometer exploiting coulomb interaction" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "European Physical Journal D", "year": 2012, "month": "Dec", "volume": 66, "number": 12, "pages": 312 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012EPJD...66..312B" } } }
