How to produce quantum entanglement for ascertaining incompatible properties in double-slit experiments

Abstract

Double-slit experiment very well lends itself in describing the problem of measuring simultaneously incompatible properties. In such a context, we theoretically design an ideal experiment for spin-7/2 particles, able to produce the entanglement which makes possible the detection.

Ascertaining complementary and incompatible quantum properties by means of double-slit experiments

Giuseppe Nisticò

The famous two-slits experiment is used to theoretically introduce the problem of detecting both which-slit (WS) property and another quantum property incompatible with the WS one, together with the measurement of the (complementary) position of the final impact point. General conditions for the existence of solutions are singled out, and a family of solutions is concretely found. Moreover, we theoretically design an ideal experiment which realizes this non-trivial detection.

Detection of Many Incompatible Quantum Properties in Double-Slit Experiment

In this work we theoretically show that in a double‐slit experiment it is possible the simultaneous detection of properties incompatible with which‐slit property and with each other, together with the measurement of the position of the final impact point. General conditions for the existence of solutions are singled out and families of solutions are provided.

Quantum entanglement in the double slit experiment with qubit which-path detectors

Johannes Kirchner

After reviewing basic concepts and tools in order to quantify entanglement, a theoretical set up is proposed, which is based on the double slit experiment and the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A particle, which is in a superposition of two paths, can interfere with a qubit on each path before it is scattered by a beam splitter and measured by two separate detectors. After a detailed investigation, it can be shown that it is possible to induce entanglement to the qubits via post-selection. This means that the measurement does not induce entanglement, but can be used to select the entangled qubits after a number of iterations. A remarkable result is, that this works independently from the probability of interaction between the particle and the qubits, which could turn out be very beneficial in a possible realization of the set up.

Detection of incompatible properties without erasure

Nisticó, Giuseppe

In this work we show that in double-slit experiment properties incompatible with Which Slit property can be detected without erasing the knowledge of which slit each particle passes through and without affecting the point of impact on the final screen. A systematic procedure to find these particular properties is provided. A thought experiment which realizes this detection is proposed.

Detection of incompatible properties

Angela Sestito

In a typical two-slits experiments we face the question whether it is possible or not to attain knowledge about properties incompatible with Which-Slit property together with the measurement of the final impact point. A wide family of solutions is concretely found and an ideal experiment realizing such a detection is designed, relatively to the detection of three such incompatible properties. In the case of four incompatible properties, general conditions for the existence of solutions are singled out and a particular family of solutions is provided.
