Optimization of the classical interference visibility of an asymmetric Mach–Zehnder interferometer based on planar lightwave circuit technology

Meizhen Ren, Xiao Li, Jiashun Zhang +7 more

Silicon-based devices offer great potential for quantum key distribution (QKD) with the benefits of miniaturization, scalability, complexity, and improved performance. Based on the planar lightwave circuit technology, a 200 ps delay-time asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer (AMZI) decoding chip was designed and fabricated that can adjust the power ratio of the two arms by introducing a variable beam splitter. The measured delay time is approximately 200 ps, and the two output pulses' peaks can be balanced by loading an appropriate voltage on the variable beam splitter. The classical interference visibility of the AMZI versus temperature was studied, and it is highly temperature dependent. The interference visibility can reach as high as 99.72% under appropriate temperature control. This AMZI can act as a passive decoder in fiber-based QKD systems.

Behavior of Electronic Interferometers in the Nonlinear Regime

Izhar Neder, Eran Ginossar

We investigate theoretically the behavior of the current oscillations in an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) as a function of its source bias. Recently, the MZI visibility data showed an unexplained lobe pattern with a peculiar phase rigidity. Moreover, the effect did not depend on the MZI path length difference. We argue that these effects may be a new many-body manifestation of particle-wave duality in quantum mechanics. When biasing the interferometer sources so much that multiple electrons are on each arm at any instant in time, quantum shot noise (a particle phenomena) must affect the interference pattern of the electrons that create it. A solution to the interaction Hamiltonian presented here shows that the interference visibility has a lobe pattern with applied bias that has a period proportional to the average path length and independent of the path length difference, together with a phase rigidity.
