TLDR
In this paper, the interference of individual surface plasmons (collective oscillations of an electron gas) with over 90% visibility is demonstrated, proving their bosonic character and therefore suitability for applications.Abstract:
Photonic integrated circuits are a promising platform for optical quantum computation, but many practical issues must be tackled. This study demonstrates interference of individual surface plasmons (collective oscillations of an electron gas) with over 90% visibility, proving their bosonic character and therefore suitability for applications. Effects of intrinsic losses in plasmonic waveguides on quantum information processing are also discussed.read more

TL;DR: Using two freely propagating surface plasmon polaritons interfering on a lossy beam splitter, it is shown that the presence of loss enables us to modify the reflection and transmission factors of the beams, thus revealing quantum interference paths that do not exist in a lossless configuration.
