Experimental Test of Born's Rule by Inspecting Third-Order Quantum Interference on a Single Spin in Solids
Abstract
As a fundamental postulate of quantum mechanics, Born's rule assigns probabilities to the measurement outcomes of quantum systems and excludes multi-order quantum interference. Here we report an experiment on a single spin in diamond to test Born's rule by inspecting the third-order quantum interference. The ratio of the third-order quantum interference to the second-order in our experiment is ceiled at the scale of 10-3, which provides a stringent constraint on the potential breakdown of Born's rule.
