Abstract
AbstractAn extension to the delayed-choice quantum eraser (DCQE) photonic experiment is described in this paper. It is proposed to employ an array of superconducting detectors on the measurement plane, and use their high sensitivity, low-noise, and fast response time to provide significantly better control of the system in a real-time, photon-counting format. We present an experimental design that would allow a pulse-triggered feedback loop to be added to be system, in an attempt to test an apparent information paradox. We show how new light might be shed on the interpretations and conclusions made from the somewhat puzzling results of the DCQE. While we focus on using an array of microwave kinetic induction detectors for this experiment, other, potentially better-suited superconducting devices are also considered.
