Wave-particle duality in single-photon entanglement

چکیده
Abstract Single-photon entanglement, the entanglement between vacuum state and single-photon state, is essentially of particle characteristics. Wave-particle duality indicates that wave property could coexist. Can we find evidence wave-behavior in entanglement? Here, based on construction Bell-like inequality space, propose a method to verify wave-particle entanglement. First, define two-dimensional space relative photon number measure state. The strong violation Bell’s joint measurement states existence conjugate variable particle. Wave obtained from Fourier transform single corresponding protocols will provide us with more information-carrying schemes field quantum information. difference representation photon-number implies

Testing Wave-Particle Duality with Single-Photon Interference Measurements
We have observed wave and particle characteristics of light in two distinct experiments. In the first case, a strongly attenuated HeNe laser was passed through a Mach-Zender interferometer. The two legs of the interferometer were given definite, mutually perpendicular polarization to provide which-way information. The resulting interference pattern was captured using a wicked expensive Electron...
متن کاملSingle-photon interferometry with orbital angular momentum circumvents standard wave-particle duality
The wave-like behavior of single quantum particles is suppressed whenever we try to learn more about their complementary particle-like property. For twopath interferometers, e.g., the Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), a relation describing such complementary behavior was derived and subsequently experimentally tested for massive particles as well as for photons. This relation sets an upper bou...
متن کاملWave–particle duality of single surface plasmon polaritons
When light interacts with metal surfaces, it excites electrons, which can form propagating excitation waves called surface plasmon polaritons. These collective electronic excitations can produce strong electric fields localized to subwavelength distance scales1, which makes surface plasmon polaritons interesting for several applications. Many of these potential uses, and in particular those rel...
متن کاملEntanglement in single-particle systems
We address some of the most commonly raised questions about entanglement, especially with regard to the so-called occupation number entanglement. To answer unambiguously whether entanglement can exist in a one-atom delocalized state, we propose an experiment capable of showing violations of Bell’s inequality using only this state and local operations. We review previous discussions for one-phot...
متن کاملPurification of single-photon entanglement.
Single-photon entanglement is a simple form of entanglement that exists between two spatial modes sharing a single photon. Despite its elementary form, it provides a resource as useful as polarization-entangled photons and it can be used for quantum teleportation and entanglement swapping operations. Here, we report the first experiment where single-photon entanglement is purified with a simple...
