■        TITLE
Complementarity relation (Wave-Particle Duality) in Classical and Quantum Interferometers

■    ABSTRACT
In this lecture, I will give a brief introduction to two-state description of classical and quantum interferometers. Naturally, the vector nature of the electric field plays a major role to understand the complementarity relation observed in classical and quantum two-state interferometers with two independent degrees of freedom among the spin (polarization), spatial, and temporal modes. I aim to introduce a recent complementarity relation discovered by J. H. Eberly in 2018:  V^2 + D^2 +C^2 = 1 (X. -F. Qian et al., Optica 5, 942 (2018)), where P^2 + C^2 = 1 (polarization coherence theorem), P is the degree of polarization, V  is the visibility, D is the distinguishability, and C is the concurrence, respectively.
