Exotic Looped Trajectories of Photons in Three-Slit Interference

Omar S. Magana-Loaiza, Israel De Leon, Mohammad Mirhosseini +8

The validity of the superposition principle and of Born's rule are well-accepted tenants of quantum mechanics. Surprisingly, it has recently been predicted that the intensity patte…

High-dimensional quantum cloning and applications to quantum hacking

Frédéric Bouchard, Robert Fickler, Robert W Boyd +1

Attempts at cloning a quantum system result in the introduction of imperfections in the state of the copies. This is a consequence of the no-cloning theorem, which is a fundamental…

Overcoming experimental limitations in a non-linear two-qubit gate through postselection

Julián Martínez-Rincón

We introduce a modular-value two-qubit gate and explore its advantages in experimentally-limited situations. The gate is defined such that the final state of a target qubit is full…

Coherence Constraints and the Last Hidden Optical Coherence

Xiao-Feng Qian, Tanya Malhotra, A. Nick Vamivakas +1

We have discovered a new domain of optical coherence, and show that it is the third and last member of a previously unreported fundamental triad of coherences. These are unified by…
