Abstract
We propose an experiment to observe interference of a single electron as it
is transported along two parallel quasi-one-dimensional channels trapped in a
single minimum of a travelling periodic electric field. The experimental device
is a modification of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) based quantum processor.
Interference is achieved by creating a superposition of spatial wavefunctions
between the two channels and inducing a relative phase shift via either a
transverse electric field or a magnetic field. The interference can be used to
estimate the decoherence time of an electron in this type of solid-state
device.
