Postselective quantum interference of distinguishable particles
  We show that it is possible for completely distinguishable particles to interfere postselectively without operating on, or indeed having any knowledge of, the distinguishing degree of freedom. In particular, we find a family of three-mode spatial interferometers that, upon inputting, say, a red photon in port 1 and a green photon in port 2, produce a state such that when vacuum is detected at one output, the two photons in the other two outputs will pass a HOM test, despite their frequency degree of freedom remaining untouched. In doing so we develop a general approach to distinguishability based on the Schmidt decomposition between particles' "System" and "Label" degrees of freedom, corresponding to what has been called unitary-unitary duality in many-body physics. This also gives insight into the relationship between the first and second quantized pictures, which is useful in bringing other quantum information concepts across from the former to the latter.
