Quantum interference and entanglement are in the core of quantum computations. The fast spread of information in the quantum circuit helps to mitigate the circuit depth. Although the information scrambling in the closed systems has been…

We study the way that chromatic dispersion affects the visibility and the synchronization on Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocols in a widely-used setup based on the use of two fiber-based Mach-Zehnder (MZ) interferometers at…

We have studied theoretically the tunneling between two edges of Quantum Hall liquids (QHL) of different filling factors, $\nu_{0,1}=1/(2 m_{0,1}+1)$, with $m_0 \geq m_1\geq 0$, through two separate point contacts in the geometry of…

Quantum path interferences occur whenever multiple equivalent and coherent transitions result in a common final state. Such interferences strongly modify the probability of a particle to be found in that final state, a key concept of…

We model the fundamental behavior of a two-branch quantum interference device. Quantum interference oscillations are visible in the output as the magnetic flux through the paths is varied. Multiple witness systems are field-coupled to each…
