Single- and many-body interference in a generalized Mach- Zehnder interferometer — •Farouk Albalacy, Gabriel Dufour, and Andreas Buchleitner — Physikalisches Institut, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg

We study the interplay of single- and many-body interference effects in a generalized Mach-Zehnder interferometer with N particles and N ports. Single-particle interference is controlled by the phase differences between the interferometer’s arms. The effect of bosonic or fermionic many-body interference is singled out by tuning the distinguishability of the particles through their internal states. We analyse the output counting statistics for N=2 or 3 partially distinguishable particles as a function of the interferometer phases and of the particles’ internal states.
