Abstract

Abstract: We present a theoretical study of the interferences between hybrid single-photon state, coherent state, and vacuum state in the designed medium of a six-ports Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (6p-MZI). The hybrid three different quantum states were simultaneously injected into the input ports of the interferometer. The derivation result demonstrated that the output state showed the statistical blend states among a substituted single-photon state, coherent state, and vacuum state. Interestingly, our calculation results attested that the maximum probability of detected photons at the individual interferometer output ports were significantly dependents on the amplitude of the inputted coherent state.
