A one-dimensional waveguide enables a single two-level emitter to route the propagation of a single photon, as to provide a quantum mirror or a quantum beamsplitter. Here we present a fully-quantum Mach-Zehnder interferometer (QMZ) for…
In an interferometer, path information and interference visibility are incompatible quantities. Complete determination of the path will exclude any possibility of interference, rendering the visibility zero. However, if the composite object…
