Linear-optics gates, the enabling tool of photonic quantum information processing, depend on indistinguishable photons, as they harness quantum interference to achieve nonlinear operations. Traditionally, meeting this criterion involves…

Results of the welcher Weg experiment of Duerr, Nonn and Rempe are explained by using ray representations of the Galilei group. The key idea is that the state of the incoming atom be regarded as belonging to an irreducible unitary ray…
We provide an operational reinterpretation of wave-particle complementarity in the low-gain Zou-Wang-Mandel (ZWM) induced-coherence interferometer. In the low gain limit, each photon pair is emitted by either one of two nonlinear crystals.…
Quantum marking and quantum erasure are discussed for the neutral kaon system. Contrary to other two-level systems, strangeness and lifetime of a neutral kaon state can be alternatively measured via an "active" or a "passive" procedure.…
Light's wave-particle duality is at the heart of quantum mechanics and can be well illustrated by Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment. The choice of inserting or removing the second classical (quantum) beam splitter in a Mach-Zehnder…
The past of the photon in a nested Mach-Zehnder interferometer with an inserted Dove prism is analyzed. It is argued that the Dove prism does not change the past of the photon. Alonso and Jordan correctly point out that an experiment by…
