The Stroop effect is a well-known behavioral phenomenon in humans that refers to robust interference between language and color information. Although this effect has long been studied, it remains unclear when the interference occurs and how it is resolved in the brain. By manipulating the verbality of stimulus…

The Stroop effect refers to cognitive interference in a colornaming task: When the color and the word do not match, the response is slower and more likely to be incorrect. The Stroop task is used to assess cognitive flexibility, selective attention, and executive function. This paper implements the Stroop task with…

Both attention and interference processing involve the selection of relevant information from incoming signals. Studies already show that interference decreases when the target location is precued correctly using spatial cueing. Complementary, we examine the effect of feature-based attentional cueing on interference…

'Guang-Can Guo' 'Bao-Sen Shi'] Optical interference is not only a fundamental phenomenon that has enabled new theories of light to be derived but it has also been used in interferometry for the measurement of small displacements, refractive index changes, and surface irregularities. In a two-beam interferometer…

Interference between different photons occurs and has been observed under diverse experimental conditions. A necessary condition in order to obtain interference fringes is the existence of at least two possible paths and unknown which-path information. If the photon beams have different frequencies, stability of the…

'Vincenzo Tamma'] We present the experimental characterization of two distant double-slit masks illuminated by chaotic light, in the absence of first-order imaging and interference. The scheme exploits second-order interference of light propagating through two indistinguishable pairs of disjoint optical paths passing…

We present a new interferometer concept called SWIFT, able to project arbitrary interference patterns constructed from small numbers of plane waves. SWIFT can control each plane wave’s orientation, intensity, polarization and phase using just a single galvanometric mirror. We demonstrate the application of SWIFT to…

Quantum interference effects in conjugated molecules have been well explored, with benzene frequently invoked as a pedagogical example. These interference effects have been understood through a quantum interference map in which the electronic transmission is separated into interfering and non-interfering terms, with a…

We know that the diffusion is defined as the movement of molecules under a potential gradient. It is characterized by the diffusion coefficient. Diffusion coefficient determination can be done via various techniques, but in this paper, we have had a broad look at interferometry based optical methods for diffusion…

'Gian Carlo Gazzadi' 'Rafal E. Dunin-Borkowski' 'Giulio Pozzi'] The key features of quantum mechanics are vividly illustrated by the Young-Feynman two-slit thought experiment, whose second part discusses the recording of an electron distribution with one of the two slits partially or totally closed by an aperture.…

Length Employing Commercial Continuous-wave Multi-mode Laser Diode: A Sight of Two-photon Interference Authors: ['Hongmin Liu'] We report an experiment of observation of classical double-slit interference fringes of two-photon interference. In the experiment, a commercial continuous-wave multi-mode F-P laser diode…

'Bing Zhang' 'Naoto Tsutsumi' 'Takafumi Sassa' 'Kenji Kinashi'] The polarization state of light waves significantly affects the quality of holographic recordings. This paper quantitatively analyzes the impact of different polarization states of signal and reference beams on the quality of holographic recordings in…

'Z. Y. Ou'] Interference effects are usually observed by intensity measurement. Path indistinguishability by quantum complementarity principle requires projection of the interfering fields into a common indistinguishable mode before detection. On the other hand, the essence of wave interference is the addition of…

'Gabriela Barreto Lemos' 'Anton Zeilinger'] We observe spatial fringes in the interference of two beams, which are controlled by a third beam through the phenomenon of induced coherence without induced emission. We show that the interference pattern depends on the alignment of this beam in an analogous way as fringes…

A novel thermal light interferometer was recently introduced in Ref. [1]. Here, two classically correlated beams, obtained by beam splitting a thermal light beam, propagate through two unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometers. Remarkably, second-order interference between the long and the short paths in the two…

Super-resolution optical imaging has become a prominent tool in life and material sciences, allowing one to decipher structures at increasingly greater spatial detail. Among the utilized techniques in this field, super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging (SOFI) has proved to be a valuable approach. A major advantage…

Over the last decades, super-resolution techniques have revolutionized the field of fluorescence microscopy. Among them, interferometric or 4Pi microscopy methods exhibit supreme resolving power in the axial dimension. Combining with single-molecule detection/localization and adaptive optics, iPALM/4PiSMS/W-4PiSMSN…

A real time trace gas detector for benzene is demonstrated. The measurement system takes an advantage of modest enrichment through short adsorption periods to reach a ppt-level detection limit with a sampling cycle of 90 s, which includes sample adsorption, desorption and a spectroscopic measurement. Benzene is…

Environmental damping in molecular spectroscopy is commonly treated as a phenomenological source of decoherence and spectral broadening, leading to a monotonic reduction of spectral intensity. Here we show that this assumption is not generally valid. Using a vibronically resolved response-function framework, we…
