Distinguishability and Many-Particle Interference.
Quantum interference of two independent particles in pure quantum states is fully described by the particles' distinguishability: the closer the particles are to being identical, the higher the degree of quantum interference. When more than two particles are involved, the situation becomes more complex and interference capability extends beyond pairwise distinguishability, taking on a surprisin...
متن کاملInterference and Distinguishability in Quantum Mechanics
Quantitative measures are introduced for the indistinguishability U of two quantum states in a given measurement and the amount of interference I observable in this measurement. It is shown that these measures obey an inequality U ≥ I which can be seen as an exact formulation of Bohr’s claim that one cannot distinguish between two possible paths of a particle while maintaining an interference p...
متن کاملMulti-Photon Interference and Temporal Distinguishability of Photons
A number of recent interference experiments involving multiple photons are reviewed. These experiments include generalized photon bunching effects, generalized Hong-OuMandel interference effects and multi-photon interferometry for demonstrations of multiphoton de Broglie wavelength. The multi-photon states used in these experiments are from two pairs of photons in parametric down-conversion. We...
متن کاملDistinguishability, contrast and complementarity in multimode two-particle interferences
Multimode two-particle systems show interference effects in oneparticle detections when both particles have common modes. We explore the possibility of extending the usual concepts of distinguishability and visibility to these types of systems. Distinguishability will refer now to the balance between common and different modes of a two-particle system, instead of the standard definition concern...
متن کاملFrom Absolute Distinguishability to Positive Distinguishability
We study methods of converting algorithms that distinguish pairs of distributions with a gap that has an absolute value that is noticeable into corresponding algorithms in which the gap is always positive (and noticeable). Our focus is on designing algorithms that, in addition to the tested string, obtain a fixed number of samples from each distribution. Needless to say, such algorithms can not...
