Entanglement-enabled delayed-choice experiment.
Wave-particle complementarity is one of the most intriguing features of quantum physics. To emphasize this measurement apparatus-dependent nature, experiments have been performed in which the output beam splitter of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is inserted or removed after a photon has already entered the device. A recent extension suggested using a quantum beam splitter at the interferometer'...
متن کاملFinite mass beam splitter in high power interferometers
1550-7998=20 The beam splitter in high-power interferometers is subject to significant radiation-pressure fluctuations. As a consequence, the phase relations which appear in the beam splitter coupling equations oscillate and phase modulation fields are generated which add to the reflected fields. In this paper, the transfer function of the various input fields impinging on the beam splitter fro...
متن کاملQuantum Delayed-Choice Experiment with a Beam Splitter in a Quantum Superposition.
A quantum system can behave as a wave or as a particle, depending on the experimental arrangement. When, for example, measuring a photon using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, the photon acts as a wave if the second beam splitter is inserted, but as a particle if this beam splitter is omitted. The decision of whether or not to insert this beam splitter can be made after the photon has entered the...
متن کاملOn Wheeler’s delayed-choice Gedankenexperiment and its laboratory realization
Here, we present an analysis and interpretation of the experiment performed by Jacques et al. (2007 Science 315 966), which represents a realization of Wheeler’s delayed-choice Gedankenexperiment. Our analysis is based on the evolution of the photon state, since the photon enters into the Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a removable beam-splitter until it exits. Given the same incident photon s...
متن کاملQuantum phase gate for photonic qubits using only beam splitters and postselection
The main difficulty in realizing quantum computation and quantum-information processing for single photon qubits is the optical implementation of controlled interactions between individual qubits. A deterministic interaction between separate photons would require the ability to apply strong nonlinearities during well-defined time intervals @1#. At present, there are still many technological dif...
