Scheme of the electron two-path interferometer. Shown is a detailed 3D view on the Schottky gates (golden) defining the conductive paths (red, dotted lines) and the interferometer structure in the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) located 110 nm below the surface. The ohmic contacts establishing electrical connection to the 2DEG are schematically indicated via the grey crossed boxes in the terminals of the interferometer. The inset at the upper right depicts the principle of Mach–Zehnder interferometry—the photonic counterpart of our electron interferometer
