Photonic Energy-Coherence Theorem and Experimental Validations

Yan-Han Yang, Xin-Zhu Liu, Jun-Li Jiang +5

Wave-particle duality, intertwining two inherently contradictory properties of quantum systems, remains one of the most conceptually profound aspects of quantum mechanics. By using…

Quantification and observation of genuine three-party coherence: A solution based on classical optics

X. -F. Qian, S. A. Wadood, A. N. Vamivakas +1

We introduce a quantification of genuine three-party pure-state coherence for wave fields, classical and quantum, by borrowing concepts from classical optics. The tensor structure…

Wave-Particle Duality Controlled by Single-Photon Self-Entanglement

X. -F. Qian, K. Konthasinghe, S. K. Manikandan +3

We experimentally observe that quantum duality of a single photon is controlled by its self-entanglement through a three-way quantum coherence identity . Here V, D,…

Turning off quantum duality

X. -F. Qian, K. Konthasinghe, K. Manikandan +3

We provide the first experimental confirmation of a three-way quantum coherence identity possessed by single pure-state photons. Our experimental results demonstrate that tradition…

Polarization Coherence Theorem

J. H. Eberly, X. -F. Qian, A. N. Vamivakas

Visibility and distinguishability quantify wave-ray duality: . We join them to polarization via the Polarization Coherence Theorem, a tight equality: $…

Violation of Bell's Inequalities with Classical Shimony-Wolf States: Theory and Experiment

X. F. Qian, B. Little, J. C. Howell +1

For many decades the word "entanglement" has been firmly attached to the world of quantum mechanics, as is the phrase "Bell violation". Here we introduce Shimony-Wolf fields, entir…

Entanglement is Sometimes Enough

X. -F. Qian, J. H. Eberly

For many decades the word "entanglement" has been firmly attached to the world of quantum mechanics. So is the phrase "Bell violation". Here we show, without contradicting quantum…

Bell violation for unknown continuous-variable states

X. -F. Qian, C. J. Broadbent, J. H. Eberly

We describe a new Bell test for two-particle entangled systems that engages an unbounded continuous variable. The continuous variable state is allowed to be arbitrary and inaccessi…
