Coherence and contextuality in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer

Blog Article

We analyse nonclassical resources in interference phenomena using generalized noncontextuality inequalities and basis-independent coherence witnesses.We use recently proposed inequalities that witness both resources within the same framework.We also propose, in view of previous contextual Bucket Hat advantage results, a systematic way of applying these tools to characterize advantage provided by coherence and contextuality in quantum information protocols.We instantiate this methodology for the task of quantum interrogation, famously introduced by the paradigmatic bomb-testing interferometric experiment, showing CORAL CALCIUM contextual quantum advantage for such a task.
