Figure 6. Detecting coherent rotations of photonic qubits.
The first witness , Eq. (4), adapted from the time-domain to the domain of the angles of several applied transformations, detects quantum coherence in almost the whole range of the prepared states ρ0 (see text) as a function of different angle settings of wave plates (φ, θ): 0 ≤ φ ≤ π/4 and 0 ≤ θ ≤ π/2.
