New aspects of geometric phases in experiments with polarized neutrons
Geometric phase phenomena have been observed with single neutrons in polarimeter and interferometer experiments. Interacting with static and timedependent magnetic fields, the state vectors acquire a geometric phase tied to the evolution within spin subspace. In a polarimeter experiment the non-additivity of quantum phases for mixed spin input states is observed. In a Si perfectcrystal interfer...
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 کاملMeasurement of geometric phase for mixed states using single photon interferometry.
Geometric phase may enable inherently fault-tolerant quantum computation. However, due to potential decoherence effects, it is important to understand how such phases arise for mixed input states. We report the first experiment to measure mixed-state geometric phases in optics, using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, and polarization mixed states that are produced in two different ways: decohering...
متن کاملSpatial 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 shifting of an interferometer using nonlocal quantum-state correlations
We describe an experiment where the phase and amplitude of the interference pattern of light going through an interferometer was varied by doing operations on quantum-correlated light that did not go through the interferometer. This was accomplished by sending a pair of polarization-entangled photons in separate directions, one to an interferometer and the other one to a phase shifter, in princ...
