The role of quantum superposition in a coupled interferometric system for macroscopic quantum feature generations

Abstract: Quantum entanglement is the quintessence of quantum information processing mostly limited to the microscopic regime governed by Heisenberg uncertainty principle. For practical applications, however, macroscopic entanglement gives great benefits in both photon loss and sensitivity. Recently, a novel method of macroscopic entanglement generation has been proposed and demonstrated in a coupled interferometric system using classical laser light, where superposition between binary bases in each interferometric system plays a key role. Here, the function of path superposition applied to independent bipartite classical systems is analyzed to unveil secrets of quantum features and to convert a classical system into a quantum system without violating quantum mechanics.
