We use the Aharonov-Bohm effect in a four-terminal ring based on a Ga[Al]As
heterostructure for the measurement of the relative transmission phase. In each
of the two interfering paths we induce a quantum dot. The number of electrons
in the two dots can be controlled independently. The transmission phase is
measured as electrons are added to or taken away from the individual quantum
dots.Comment: 3 pages, 4 figure
