Interference Effects in Potential-Wells

Quantum Physics 2015-04-22 v2

Abstract

We propose using an array of potential wells as an interferometer, in which the beam splitters are provided by tunneling during an appropriate time through the barrier between wells. This arrangement allows demonstration of generalized Hong-Ou-Mandel effects with multiple particles traversing one or several beam splitters. Other interferometer effects can occur, including a violation of the Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt form of the Bell inequality. With interactions, one sees various effects including so-called fermionization, collective tunneling, and self-trapping.
