Based on quantum counterfactual interaction-free measurement, we propose an implementation scheme for a beam splitter with anomalous reflection and transmission properties that looks impossible at first glance. Our scheme is stationary without requiring switchable mirrors and polarization rotators. Using the scheme for imaging will ensure that the optical radiation received by the object being imaged can be arbitrarily low. Thus it enables applications such as stealthy night vision devices that can work without detectable ambient light, or being used as a hackware against some counterfactual quantum cryptographic protocols.

We report the experimental demonstration of efficient interaction of multi kilo electron Volt heralded x-ray photons with a beam splitter. The measured heralded photon rate at the outputs of the beam splitter is about 0.01 counts/s which is comparabl
e to the rate in the absence of the beam splitter. We use this beam splitter together with photon number and photon energy resolving detectors to show directly that single x ray photons cannot split. Our experiment demonstrates the major advantage of x rays for quantum optics: the possibility to observe experimental results with high fidelity and with negligible background.
The possibility of interaction-free measurements and counterfactual computations is a striking feature of quantum mechanics pointed out around 20 years ago. We implement such phenomena in actual 5-qubit, 15-qubit and 20-qubit IBM quantum computers by
means of simple quantum circuits. The results are in general close to the theoretical expectations. For the larger circuits (with numerous gates and consequently larger errors) we implement a simple error mitigation procedure which improve appreciably the performance.
Optical lossless beam splitters are frequently encountered in fundamental physics experiments regarding the nature of light, including which-way determination of light particles, N. Bohrs complementarity principle, or the EPR paradox and all their me
asurement apparatus. Although they look as common optical components at first glance, their behaviour remains somewhat mysterious since they apparently exhibit stand-alone particle-like features, and then wave-like characteristics when inserted into a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. In this communication are examined and discussed some basic properties of these beamssplitters, both from a classical optics and quantum physics point of view. Herein some convergences and contradictions are highlighted, and the results of a few emblematic experiments demonstrating photon existence are discussed. An alternative empirical model in wave optics is also proposed in order to shed light on some remaining questions
Quantum - or classically correlated - light can be employed in various ways to improve resolution and measurement sensitivity. In an interaction-free measurement, a single photon can be used to reveal the presence of an object placed within one arm o
f an interferometer without being absorbed by it. This method has previously been applied to imaging. With a technique known as ghost imaging, entangled photon pairs are used for detecting an opaque object with significantly improved signal-to-noise ratio while preventing over-illumination. Here, we integrate these two methods to obtain a new imaging technique which we term interaction-free ghost-imaging that possesses the benefits of both techniques. While maintaining the image quality of conventional ghost-imaging, this new technique is also sensitive to phase and polarisation changes in the photons introduced by a structured object. Furthermore, thanks to the interaction-free nature of this new technique, it is possible to reduce the number of photons required to produce a clear image of the object (which could be otherwise damaged by the photons) making this technique superior for probing light-sensitive materials and biological tissues.
We prove that a beam splitter, one of the most common optical components, fulfills several classes of majorization relations, which govern the amount of quantum entanglement that it can generate. First, we show that the state resulting from k photons
impinging on a beam splitter majorizes the corresponding state with any larger photon number k>k, implying that the entanglement monotonically grows with k. Then, we examine parametric infinitesimal majorization relations as a function of the beam-splitter transmittance, and find that there exists a parameter region where majorization is again fulfilled, implying a monotonic increase of entanglement by moving towards a balanced beam splitter. We also identify regions with a majorization default, where the output states become incomparable. In this latter situation, we find examples where catalysis may nevertheless be used in order to recover majorization. The catalyst states can be as simple as a path-entangled single-photon state or a two-mode vacuum squeezed state.
