Adiabatic Mach-Zehnder interferometry on a quantized Bose-Josephson junction
We propose a scheme to achieve Mach-Zehnder interferometry using a quantized Bose-Josephson
junction with a negative charging energy. The quantum adiabatic evolution through a dynamical
bifurcation is used to accomplish the beam splitting and recombination. The negative charging energy
ensures the existence of a path-entangled state which enhances the phase measurement precision to the
Heisenberg limit. A feasible detection procedure is also presented. The scheme should be realizable with
current technology
