- Abstract: In a standard interferometry experiment, one measures the phase difference
between two paths by recombining the two wave packets on a beam-splitter.
However, it has been recently recognized that the phase can also be estimated
via local measurements, by using an ancillary particle in a known superposition
state. In this work, we further analyse these protocols for different types of
particles (bosons or fermions, charged or uncharged), with a particular
emphasis on the subtleties that arise when the phase is due to the coupling to
an abelian gauge field. In that case, we show that the measurable quantities
are spacetime loop integrals of the 4-vector potential, enclosed by two
identical particles or by a particle-antiparticle pair. Furthermore, we
generalize our considerations to scenarios involving an arbitrary number of
parties performing local measurements on a general charged fermionic state.
Finally, as a concrete application, we analyse a recent proposal by Marletto
and Vedral (arXiv:1906.03440) involving the time-dependent Aharonov-Bohm
effect.

We consider the concept of velocity fields, taken from Bohmian mechanics, to investigate the effects of entanglement on bipartite realizations of Young's two-slit experiment.
We find that while the velocity fields associated with each particle in the separable scenario are well-defined and act separately on each subspace, in the entangled case there is a strong deformation in the total space that prevents this behavior.

Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect can lead to a perfect suppression of two-particle coincidences between the output ports of a balanced beam splitter.
In this work, we demonstrate experimentally that the two-particle coincidence statistics of two bosons can instead be seamlessly tuned to substantial enhancement.
Our findings reveal a new approach to harnessing non-Hermitian settings for the manipulation of multi-particle quantum states.

As the particles approach each other, a quantum jump takes place upon particle collision, which erases their distinguishability.
We show that symmetric measurements performed on identical particles can in principle discriminate between the product and symmetrized states.
