Abstract
This paper investigates electron decoherence in a graphene-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The researchers observed a crossover in the decay of interference visibility with temperature scaled by interferometer length, transitioning from exponential decay at higher temperatures to algebraic decay at lower temperatures where decoherence is minimal. This behavior, unlike that seen in GaAs interferometers, suggests graphene's unique potential for studying unexplored regimes of electron interferometry.
