Mach-Zehnder interferometer Application

AI Thread Summary
A user inquires about web-based applications or Windows executables for simulating a Mach-Zehnder interferometer experiment, specifically seeking functionality to manipulate wave plates, rotate them, and define multiple input paths. Another participant clarifies that if hardware is involved, both a hardware interface and corresponding code are necessary for communication. A resource link to a Wolfram demonstration of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer simulation is provided as a potential solution.

Hi there,

Is there an application available on the web, or an .exe for Windows, that enables me to run an experiment involving a Mach-Zehnder interferometer -and will display the relevant result - allowing me also to add wave plates and rotate them appropriately, and define the inputs (i.e. not just one photon coming into the system from one path, but one from two different paths)?

Hey StevieTNZ.

Is this a hardware device (external one)?

If it is you will need both a hardware interface and the code to communicate to it.

Do you have any of these?
