    "abstract": "The effect of time-varying electromagnetic fields on electron coherence is\ninvestigated. A sinusoidal electromagnetic field produces a time varying\nAharonov-Bohm phase. In a measurement of the interference pattern which\naverages over this phase, the effect is a loss of contrast. This is effectively\na form of decoherence. We calculate the magnitude of this effect for various\nelectromagnetic field configurations. The result seems to be sufficiently large\nto be observable.",
