Spatial Non-Cyclic Geometric Phase in Neutron Interferometry
We present a split-beam neutron interferometric experiment to test the non-cyclic geometric phase tied to the spatial evolution of the system: the subjacent two-dimensional Hilbert space is spanned by the two possible paths in the interferometer and the evolution of the state is controlled by phase shifters and absorbers. A related experiment was reported previously by some of the authors to ve...
متن کاملPhase Tomography in Neutron Interferometry
Perfect crystal neutron interferometry permits the simultaneous investigation of different interactions, like absorption, small angle scattering, and forward scattering. The coherent forward scattering of neutrons in materials or magnetic fields generates phase shifts, which can be detected with high sensitivity. The tomographic reconstruction of phase projections is similar to that of intensit...
متن کاملGeometric Phase in Su(n) Interferometry
The purpose of this contribution is twofold: to review how an SU(N) transformation can be experimentally realized using optical elements, and to show how such an experimental realization can be used to investigate the cyclic evolution of a state over the manifold SU(N)/U(N-1). The bulk of the results will be presented explicitly for SU(3) (see [1] for further details) and SU(4), although it wil...
متن کاملGeometric phase in coupled neutron interference loops.
A geometric phase factor is derived for a split-beam experiment as an example of cyclic evolutions. Poincaré sphere descriptions for the split-beam experiment show its geometric property. We observe this geometric phase with a two-loop neutron interferometer, where a reference beam can be added to the beam from one interference loop. The combination of phase shifters and partial absorbers permi...
متن کاملSpatial phase-shifting interferometry with compensation of geometric errors based on genetic algorithm
We propose a novel spatial phase-shifting interferometry that exploits a genetic algorithm to compensate for geometric errors. Spatial phase-shifting interferometry is more suitable for measuring objects with properties that change rapidly in time than the temporal phase-shifting interferometry. However, it is more susceptible to the geometric errors since the positions at which interferograms ...
