Scientific paper

We study a simple model of dephasing of Aharonov-Bohm oscillations in the transmission of an electron across a mesoscopic ring. A magnetic impurity in one of the arms of the ring couples to the electron spin via an exchange interaction. This interaction leads to spin flip scattering and induces dephasing via entanglement. This is akin to the models evoked earlier to explain destruction of interference due to which-path information in double-slit experiments. Total transmission is found to be symmetric under flux reversal but not the spin polarization.
