Measuring quantum coherence in multislit interference

Tania Paul, Tabish Qureshi · Physical Review A · 2017

A quantitative measure of quantum coherence was recently introduced in the context of quantum information theory. This measure has also been propounded as a good quantifier of the wave nature of quantum objects. However, actually measuring coherence in an experiment is still considered a challenge. A procedure for measuring coherence in a multislit interference is proposed here. It can be used for experimentally testing duality relations for interference experiments involving more than two slits.
