Scientific paper

We demonstrate how the zitterbewegung charge oscillations can be detected through a charge conductance measurement in a three-terminal junction. By tuning the spin-orbit interaction strength or an external magnetic field the zitterbewegung period can be modulated, translating into complementary conductance oscillations in the two outgoing leads of the junction. The proposed experimental setup is within the reach of demonstrated technology and material parameters, and enables the observation of the so far elusive zitterbewegung phenomenon.
