We introduce a concept of the Mach-Zehnder-Fano interferometer by inserting a cavity exhibiting Fano resonance into a conventional interferometer. By employing the scattering-matrix approach, we demonstrate that the transmission is…
We analyze the interference of individual photons in a linear-optical setup comprised of two overlapping Mach-Zehnder interferometers joined via a common beam splitter. We show how, in this setup, two kinds of standard interference effects…
We present a method for intrusion detection which is based on the Mach-Zehnder interference effect. This device provides monitored surveillance by continuously measuring the intensity of light collected by a pair of photodetectors. We find…
Here we demonstrate quantum interference of photons on a Silicon chip produced from a single ring resonator photon source. The source is seamlessly integrated with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, which path entangles degenerate bi-photons…
We discuss complementarity and uncertainty in a gedanken Which-Way (Welcher-Weg) experiment in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Although a Welcher-Weg measurement can be performed with only a negligible amount of momentum change in the…
Quantum interferometry based on induced-coherence phenomena has demonstrated the possibility of undetected-photon measurements. Perturbation in the optical path of probe photons can be detected by interference signals generated by quantum…
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…
We investigate a Mach-Zehnder interferometer fed by two time-dependently driven single-particle sources, one of them placed in front of the interferometer, the other in the center of one of the arms. As long as the two sources are operated…
We propose an electronic quantum eraser in which the electrons are injected into a mesoscopic conductor at the quantum Hall regime. The conductor is composed of a two-path interferometer which is an electronic analogue of the optical…
Classical wisdom of wave-particle duality says that it is impossible to observe simultaneously the wave and particle nature of microscopic object. Mathematically the principle requests that the interference visibility V and which-path…
We study controllable single photon scattering in a one-dimensional waveguide coupling with an additional cavity by second order nonlinear materials in a non-cascading configuration, where the additional cavity is embedded with two-level…
We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally how the diffraction and interferometric resolution limit for single-mode coherent cw laser light can be overcome by multi-photon interference. By use of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, operated…
When a photon is detected after passing through an interferometer one might wonder which path it took, and a meaningful answer can only be given if one has the means of monitoring the photon's whereabouts. We report the realization of a…
We investigate the single-photon propagation in the one-dimensional waveguide coupled to $N$ two-level atoms. For a waveguide coupled to $N$ distant atoms, the transparency can be induced by coherent interaction at resonance for an $even$…
The direct counterfactual quantum communication protocol involving double chained Mach-Zehnder interferometers requires a single photon input. Here, we show that even with multiphoton light sources, including a strong coherent light source…
We demonstrate Mach-Zehnder-type interferometry in a superconducting flux qubit. The qubit is a tunable artificial atom, whose ground and excited states exhibit an avoided crossing. Strongly driving the qubit with harmonic excitation sweeps…
A theoretical non-pertubative treatment is developed to explain the dephasing of electrons in the electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer via interaction with a near-by partitioned electronic channel, which acts as a "which path" detector.…
Possible paths of a photon passing through a nested Mach-Zehnder interferometer on its way to a detector are analyzed using the consistent histories formulation of quantum mechanics, and confirmed using a set of weak measurements (but not…
Using spontaneous parametric down conversion and a 50:50 beam splitter, we generate coaxial polarization-entangled photon pairs, of which the two photons are far separated from each other. The photons are then sent one by one through one…
We experimently demonstrate the interference of dephasing quantum channel using single photon Mach-Zender interferometer. We extract the information inaccessible to the technology of quantum tomography. Further, We introduce the application…
