We review different attempts to show the decoherence process in double-slit-like experiments both for charged particles (electrons) and neutral particles with permanent dipole moments. Interference is studied when electrons or atomic…
We report the detection of spin interference signal in an Aharonov-Bohm type interferometer with quantum dots on the conduction paths. We have found that resonators like quantum dots can work as efficient spin rotators. The interference…

One of the most popular time-frequency representation is certainly the Wigner distribution. To reduce the interferences coming from its quadratic nature, several related distributions have been proposed, among which the so-called…
We use the Landauer-B\"{u}ttiker formalism to study the mesoscopic Fano effect in Aharonov-Bohm rings with an embedded two-dimensional noninteracting dot. The magnetic field dependence of the dot levels leads to a global shift of the Fano…
We report a comprehensive discussion of quantum interference effects due to the finite structure of excitons in quantum rings and their first experimental corroboration observed in the optical recombinations. Anomalous features that appear…
In recent years, interferometry experiments in fractional quantum Hall devices have reported signatures of a fractional braiding phase for quasiparticles. It was noted, however, that the braiding phase alone does not uniquely determine the…

Surface electrons of strong topological insulator wires acquire a Berry phase difference of $\pi$ on orbiting the wire. This can be detected in response of clean wires (whose Fermi level is tuned to the Dirac point) to the presence of the…
The Aharonov-Bohm effect is investigated in two-dimensional, single-terminal quantum rings in magnetic fields by using time-dependent density-functional theory. We find multiple transport loops leading to the oscillation periods of h/(en),…
We show that colliding vortex beams instead of (approximate) plane waves can lead to a direct measurement of how the overall phase of the plane wave scattering amplitude changes with the scattering angle. Since vortex beams are coherent…
A "strongly" interacting, and entangling, heavy, non recoiling, external particle effects a significant change of the environment. Described locally, the corresponding entanglement event is a generalized electric Aharonov Bohm effect, that…
Variations in the spatial intensity distribution of light caused by coherent interaction with two-level atoms are determined by semi-classically calculating a term for interference between incident light and spherical radiation from the…
If two laser beams cross in a medium under shallow angle, the laser-induced grating consists of only a few grooves. In this situation, the phase between the grooves of the grating and its envelope is a decisive parameter for nonlinear…
We propose a simple situation in which the magnetic Aharonov-Bohm potential influences the values of the deficiency indices of the initial Schr\"odinger operator, so determining whether the particle interacts with the solenoid or not. Even…
We extend the wide-sense spatial stationarity concept of coherence holography in the regime of phase-space using the wigner distribution function. We focus mainly on the incoherent light source and the Fourier and Fresnel propagation…
The uncertainty principle suggests a quantitative trade-off between the control of position and the control of momentum in particle propagation. However, a superposition of two states with very different uncertainty trade-offs introduces an…
