Scaling up multi-mode entanglement generated by mode swapping

Yuki Kodama, Holger F. Hofmann

Entanglement between two local multi-photon multi-mode systems can be generated by swapping a pair of modes between the two local multi-mode systems. In this presentation, we consi…

The Quantum Plumber's Problem

Nicolas G. Underwood, Holger F. Hofmann, Jonte R. Hance

Recent work quantified the notion of quantum counterfactual gain for an extended Elitzur-Vaidman bomb test style scenario, through a connection to the negativity of the Kirkwood-Di…

Transition between weak and strong measurements in the presence of post-selection

Shogo Hanashiro, Holger F. Hofmann

In the weak measurement regime, post-selection can result in the observation of anomalous weak values, seemingly contradicting the eigenvalue statistics observed when the measureme…

Implementation of nonlocal multi-photon interference by mode swapping

Holger F. Hofmann, Yuki Kodama, Jonte R. Hance

Multi-photon interference can be observed using independently generated photons as input. In the most simple case, these photons meet up at a beam splitter, resulting in quantum in…

What meter interference can tell us about the statistics of weak measurements

Holger F. Hofmann, Tomonori Matsushita, Masayoshi Isobe +1

It is widely assumed that the quantum fluctuations of the meter readout in a weak measurement make it impossible to identify the contributions originating from the individual value…

The non-local Hong-Ou-Mandel effect

Yuki Kodama, Jonte R. Hance, Holger F. Hofmann

Two-photon interference effects arise because photons are indistinguishable particles. In the wellknown Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect, the transmission of two photons at a beam split…

Quantum Contextuality Requires Counterfactual Gain

Yuki Sagawa, Jonte R. Hance, Holger F. Hofmann +1

Quantum contextuality, where measurement outcomes depend on the measurement context, implies a failure of classical realism in quantum systems. As recently shown, the transition be…

External quantum fluctuations select measurement contexts

Jonte R. Hance, Ming Ji, Tomonori Matsushita +1

Quantum paradoxes show that the outcomes of different quantum measurements cannot be described by a single measurement-independent reality. Any theoretical description of a quantum…

Counterfactuality, back-action, and information gain in multi-path interferometers

Jonte R. Hance, Tomonori Matsushita, Holger F. Hofmann

The presence of an absorber in one of the paths of an interferometer changes the output statistics of that interferometer in a fundamental manner. Since the individual quantum part…

Origin of meter fluctuations in weak measurement interactions

Tomonori Matsushita, Holger F. Hofmann

Measurements map the value of a target observable onto a meter shift, resulting in a meter readout that combines the initial statistics of the meter state with the quantum statisti…
