The determination of the density matrix of an ensemble of identically prepared quantum systems by performing a series of measurements, known as quantum tomography, is minimal when the number of outcomes is minimal. The most accurate minimal quantum tomography of qubits, sometimes called a tetrahedron measurement, corresponds to projections over four states which can be represented on the Bloch sphere as the vertices of a regular tetrahedron. We investigate whether it is possible to implement the tetrahedron measurement of double slit qubits of light, using measurements performed on a single plane. Assuming Gaussian slits and free propagation, we demonstrate that a judicious choice of the detection plane and the double slit geometry allows the implementation of a tetrahedron measurement. Finally, we consider possible sets of values which could be used in actual experiments.
Even 100 years after its introduction by Louis de Broglie, the wave-nature of matter is often regarded as a mind-boggling phenomenon. To give an intuitive introduction to this field, we here discuss the diffraction of massive molecules through a sing
A new scheme for a double-slit experiment in the time domain is presented. Phase-stabilized few-cycle laser pulses open one to two windows (``slits) of attosecond duration for photoionization. Fringes in the angle-resolved energy spectrum of varying
We explore a possible connection between non-commutative space and the quantum-to-classical transition by computing the outcome of a double slit experiment in the non-commutative plane. We find that the interference term undergoes a Gaussian suppress
We investigate the performance of a Kennedy receiver, which is known as a beneficial tool in optical coherent communications, to the quantum state discrimination of the two superpositions of vacuum and single photon states corresponding to the $hatsi
In classical optics, Youngs double-slit experiment with colored coherent light gives rise to individual interference fringes for each light frequency, referring to single-photon interference. However, two-photon double-slit interference has been wide
