Stereographic geometry of coherence and which-path information

Abstract: Recently, it was shown that quantum entanglement is an indispensable part of the duality behavior of light. Here, we report a surprisingly intimate connection between the stereographic projection and the dualityentanglement nature of a single photon. We show that, the duality-entanglement relation [Optica 5, 942 (2018)], naturally emerges from the stereographic projection geometry. We demonstrate that this geometry is complementarity sensitive; in the sense that, it is sensitive to the particle nature, wave na… Show more

“…The QF distributions are always positive distributions 25 , and they are useful for exploring the phase-space information, coherence and entanglement. Entanglement and coherence 26 are crucial resources for quantum information 27 . Based on the QF, Wehrl density and Wehrl entropy 28 are introduced to quantify the phase space information and the entanglement 29 .…”
