Abstract:
We study a single-electron pulse injected into the chiral edge state of a quantum Hall device and subject it to a capacitive Coulomb interaction. We find that the scattered multiparticle state remains unentangled and hence can be created itself by a suitable classical voltage pulse. The application of an appropriate inverse pulse corrects for the shakeup due to the interaction and resurrects the original injected wave packet. We suggest an experiment with an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer where the application of such pulses manifests itself in an improved visibility.
