Photonic integrated circuits are a promising platform for optical quantum computation, but many practical issues must be tackled. This study demonstrates interference of individual surface plasmons (collective oscillations of an electron gas) with over 90% visibility, proving their bosonic character and therefore suitability for applications. Effects of intrinsic losses in plasmonic waveguides on quantum information processing are also discussed.
