Abstract

We investigate the non-classical properties of two streams of photons passing the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, where the non-classical properties is measured by the reciprocal of mean quantum Fisher information per particle (RMQFIP) and the coherence visibility. One can control RMQFIP and the coherence visibility by adjusting the transmission and reflection amplitude.
