The widely reported magnetoresistance oscillations in LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures have invariably been attributed to the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) effect, despite a pronounced inconsistency with low-field Hall resistance measurements. Here we report SdH-like resistance oscillations in quasi-1D electron waveguides created at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface by conductive atomic force microscopy lithography. These oscillations can be directly attributed to magnetic depopulation of magnetoelectric subbands. Our results suggest that the SdH oscillations in 2D SrTiO3-based systems may originate from naturally forming quasi-1D channels.
