We show that the edge of a two-dimensional topological insulator can be used to construct a solid state Stern-Gerlach spin-splitter. By threading such a Stern-Gerlach apparatus with a magnetic flux, Ahranov-Bohm like interference effects…

We propose a contextual cavity/circuit QED analogue and extension of the Stern-Gerlach experiment, where the pseudo-spin of a two-state `atomic' transition plays the role of the ``spin'', while the resonant field driving the transition…
