Experimental Separation of Wave and Particle Attributes of a Single Photon Based on the Quantum Cheshire Cat Concept

Li

This groundbreaking research by Li et al. explores the fascinating separation of wave and particle attributes of a single photon through the innovative quantum Cheshire cat concept and weak measurement techniques. Their findings shed new light on wave-particle duality, pushing the boundaries of our understanding of fundamental quantum mechanics.

Abstract
This paper experimentally demonstrates the separation of wave and particle attributes of a single photon using the quantum Cheshire cat concept and weak measurement. By employing an improved Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) with specific pre- and post-selection states, the authors successfully extract weak values of different operators, confirming the spatial separation of wave and particle attributes. The results provide new insights into wave-particle duality and offer a new approach to investigating fundamental quantum mechanics.
