Abstract
We propose a novel method to probe the cosmic neutrino background (CNB) which has been shown to be accumulated on the surface of the earth. If such relic neutrino carries non-zero electric charge, Mach-Zehnder interferometer offers a suitable venue to unveil its interaction with photons. For neutrino mass equals to 0.05 eV, the sensitivity reach of our proposal could probe the fractional electric charge of the neutrino as low as , and provided that the interferometer operates at standard quantum limit (SQL), the Heisenberg limit as well as super-Heisenberg limit, respectively.
