• Title: Testing complementarity on a transmon quantum processor
• Authors: Pedro M. Q. Cruz, J. Fern\'andez-Rossier
• Abstract summary: We propose quantum circuits to test interferometric complementarity using symmetric two-way interferometers coupled to a which-path detector. We identify small but persistent systematic deviations preventing the observation of full particle-like and wave-like statistics. We understand them by carefully modeling two-qubit gates, showing that even small coherent errors in their implementation preclude the observation of Bohr's strong formulation of complementarity.

• Abstract: We propose quantum circuits to test interferometric complementarity using symmetric two-way interferometers coupled to a which-path detector. First, we consider the two-qubit setup in which the controlled transfer of path information to the detector subsystem depletes interference on the probed subspace, testing the visibility-distinguishability trade-off via minimum-error state discrimination measurements. Next, we consider the quantum eraser setup, in which reading out path information in the right basis recovers an interference pattern. These experiments are then carried out in an IBM superconducting transmon processor. A detailed analysis of the results is provided. Despite finding good agreement with theory at a coarse level, we also identify small but persistent systematic deviations preventing the observation of full particle-like and wave-like statistics. We understand them by carefully modeling two-qubit gates, showing that even small coherent errors in their implementation preclude the observation of Bohr's strong formulation of complementarity.

  Quantum entanglement between an interfering particle and a detector for acquiring the which-path information plays a central role for enforcing Bohr's complementarity principle. Here we find an equality for quantifying the relation between this entanglement and the fringe visibility. We experimentally demonstrate this relation with a superconducting circuit, where a resonator serves as a which-path detector for an interfering qubit.
