Interference is central to quantum physics and occurs when indistinguishable paths exist, like in a double-slit experiment. Replacing the two slits with two single atoms introduces optical non-linearities for which nontrivial interference…

Quantum theory permits interference between indistinguishable paths but, at the same time, restricts its order. Single-particle interference, for instance, is limited to the second order, that is, to pairs of single-particle paths. To date,…
In this work, we introduce a new concatenation scheme which aims at protecting information against the occurrence of both computational errors and quantum erasures. According to our scheme, the internal code must be a quantum…
