We quantify which-path information in the absorption and emission of light by a quantum dot along a Ramsey-like sequence. The quantum dot is excited by two successive classical $\pi/2$-pulses with tunable relative phase, yielding the…

Entanglement often increases quantum measurement schemes' sensitivity. However, we find that in precision measurements with zero-mean Gaussian states, such as squeezed states, entanglement between different paths degrades measurement…

Measurement of the transmission phase through a quantum dot (QD) embedded in an arm of a two-terminal Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometer is inhibited by phase symmetry, i.e. the property that the linear response conductance of a two-terminal…
