Measuring Quantum Coherence in Multi-Slit Interference
arXiv:1701.09091 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.95.042110
Abstract
A quantitative measure of quantum coherence was recently introduced, in the context of quantum information theory. This measure has also been propounded as a good quantifier of the wave nature of quantum objects. However, actually measuring coherence in an experiment is still considered a challenge. A procedure for measuring coherence in a multi-slit interference is proposed here. It can be used for experimentally testing duality relations for interference experiments involving more than two slits.
