✦ Synopsis


Two components of superposition single-photon state are entering into two different ports of multiport interferometer. Interference effects in which the inputs into the interferometer are controlling the outputs are studied. In particular we study a multiport beam-splitter (BS) configuration, in which eight input operators a 0 , a 1 , a 2 …a 7 are mixed by 12 BS's to produce the output operators b 0 , b 1 , b 2 …b 7 . Multiport beamsplitter transformations of superposition single-photon states are analyzed with a possible use of postselection effects.
