Abstract
Rabi oscillations of a two-level atom appear as a quantum interference effect between the amplitudes associated to atomic superpositions, in analogy with the classic double-slit experiment which manifests a sinusoidal interference pattern. By extension, through direct detection of time-resolved resonance fluorescence from a quantum-dot neutral exciton driven in the Rabi regime, we experimentally demonstrate triple-slit-type quantum interference via quantum erasure in a V-type three-level artificial atom. This result is of fundamental interest in the experimental studies of the properties of V-type 3-level systems and may pave the way for further insight into their coherence properties as well as applications for quantum information schemes. It also suggests quantum dots as candidates for multi-path-interference experiments for probing foundational concepts in quantum physics.
Highlights
Quantum interference effects [1,2] form the basis of many photonic quantum information tasks, such as gate operations for quantum computing [3,4,5], quantum state comparison and amplification, and quantum teleportation schemes for the robust transfer of quantum information [7] essential for quantum networks [8]

It is a signature of quantum coherence fundamental to the manipulation of atomic qubits in quantum information processing, and has been observed in quantum dots (QDs)—artificial atoms that can mimic the behavior of a two-level atom [19,20,21,22,23,24]

Through direct detection of time-resolved resonance fluorescence from a quantum-dot neutral exciton driven in the Rabi regime, we experimentally demonstrate triple-slit-type quantum interference via quantum erasure in a V-type three-level artificial atom. This result is of fundamental interest in the experimental studies of the properties of V-type three-level systems and may pave the way for further insight into their coherence properties as well as applications for quantum information schemes. Due to the electron-hole exchange interaction, the neutral exciton is
