The duality between quantum phase slip junctions and Josephson junctions has triggered a variety of theoretical and experimental works and set the basis for a new type of quantum device based on coherent quantum phase slips. We present a realization of a quantum phase slip interferometer based on two strongly coupled superconducting nanowires. The interference is controlled by a gate voltage and visible as a periodic modulation of the critical Coulomb blockade voltage. The strength of the modulation strongly depends on the homogeneity of the wires, as the phase slip rates exponentially depend on the normal state resistances of the wires. We use the intrinsic electromigration technique ([1]) to adjust and homogenize the resistances of the wires in-situ and therefore are able to study a large range of wire impedances for single devices.
