Zitterbewegung is a direct consequence of relativistic quantum mechanics which predicts that free Dirac electrons exhibit a rapid trembling motion even in the absence of external forces. Recent theoretical studies have shown that electrons in III-V semiconductors also exhibit Zitterbewegung caused by the spin orbit interaction. Here we probe the Zitterbewegung of electrons in n-type InGaAs as an AC electric current. We trigger the coherent electron Zitterbewegung by optical initialization of an ensemble of electron spins in the same spin states and control the frequency of electron oscillations in real space by tuning the Larmor spin precession frequency in an external magnetic field.
