Resonance Energy–Exchange–Free Detection and ‘Welcher Weg’ Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that a monolithic total–internal–reflection resonator can be used for energy–exchange–free detections of objects without recoils. Related energy–exchange–free detection of ‘welcher Weg’ is discussed and an experiment with an atom interferometer is proposed. The obtained results are in agreement with quantum theory.

Welcher Weg Experiments from the Bohm Perspective
We re-examine the claim made by Englert, Scully, Süssman and Walther that in certain ‘Welcher Weg’ (Which Way) interference experiments, the Bohm trajectories behave in such a bizarre and unacceptable way that they must be considered as unreliable and even ‘surreal’. We show that this claim cannot be correct and is based on an incorrect use of the Bohm approach.
متن کاملNonlocal momentum transfer in welcher Weg measurements
A ‘‘which-path’’ ~welcher Weg! measurement necessarily destroys the fringes in a double-slit interference experiment. We show that in all instances one may attribute this destruction to a disturbance of the particle’s momentum by an amount equal to at least p\/2d , where d is the slit separation, in accordance with the uncertainty principle. However, this momentum transfer need not be local; th...
متن کاملRandomization of quantum relative phase in welcher Weg measurements
Welcher Weg (which-path) detectors where complementarity is enforced without altering the interfering beams are analysed in terms of the quantum relative phase. In such a case, the measurement disturbs the interference via random classical phase shifts. This applies when the interfering particles are atoms or photons. In the case of photons, the quantum relative phase coincides with the field p...
متن کامل4 A conclusive experiment to throw more light on ” light ”
We describe a new realization of Ghose, Home, Agarwal experiment on wave particle duality of light where some limitations of the former experiment, realized by Mizobuchi and Ohtaké, are overcome. Our results clearly indicate that wave-particle complementarity must be understood between interference and " whelcher weg " knowledge and not in a more general sense. PACS 03.65.Ta Wave particle duali...
متن کاملGeneration of symmetric Dicke states of remote qubits with linear optics.
We propose a method for generating all symmetric Dicke states, either in the long-lived internal levels of N massive particles or in the polarization degrees of freedom of photonic qubits, using linear optical tools only. By means of a suitable multiphoton detection technique, erasing Welcher-Weg information, our proposed scheme allows the generation and measurement of an important class of ent...
