• Title: Creating nonlocality using geometric phases between partially distinguishable photons
• Authors: Valentin Gebhart
• Abstract summary: We show that it is possible to create nonlocal correlations in a fixed interferometer with independent photon inputs by varying the photons' internal states. By making use of the dynamical quantum Zeno effect, we show that nonlocality can be created in the fixed cyclic interferometer using 12 independent photons.

• Abstract: The geometric (Berry-Pancharatnam) phase originates from the intrinsic geometry of the space of quantum states and can be observed in different situations, such as a cyclic evolution of a quantum system. Here, we utilize the geometric phase to obtain a surprising insight: It is possible to create nonlocal correlations in a fixed interferometer with independent photon inputs by varying the photons' internal states.In particular, we consider a cyclic interferometer that is fixed, i.e., that has no variable internal phase shifts or subsequent measurement settings. Instead, the measurement choices of the different parties correspond to the internal states of the input photons which influence the observed correlations via a collective $N$-photon geometric phase, constituting a different approach for the generation of nonlocality with respect to the usual paradigm. We observe a trade-off between the geometric phases and the visibility of the many-photon interference, impeding the generation of nonlocality. However, by making use of the dynamical quantum Zeno effect, we show that nonlocality can be created in the fixed cyclic interferometer using 12 (or more) independent photons.

  We explore the chiral dynamics in a parity-time-symmetric system consisting of a giant Kerr cavity nonlocally coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide. By tuning the phase difference between the two coupling points to match the propagation phase at the driving frequency, chiral cavity-waveguide interactions are achieved. Non-statistical photons can be produced even in the strong dissipation regime due to the interference between reflected and transmitted photons propagating between the coupling points.

• Emergence of the molecular geometric phase from exact electron-nuclear dynamics [0.0]
  In chemistry, geometric phases appear when a reaction path encircles an intersection between adiabatic potential energy surfaces. Recent works have shown that the geometric phase is an artifact of the adiabatic approximation, challenging the perceived utility of the concept in molecules. We introduce instantaneous, gauge invariant phases separately for the electrons and for the nuclei, and use them to monitor the phase difference between the trailing edges of a wavepacket encircling a conical intersection.

  Photon exchange-phase and degree of distinguishability have not been widely utilized in quantum-enhanced applications. We show that even at low degree entanglement, when a two-photon wave-function is coupled to matter, it is encoded with a reliable "which pathway?" information. We find that quantum-light interferometry facilitates utterly different set of time-delay variables, which are unbound by uncertainty to the inverse bandwidth of the wave-packet.
