  "abstract": "The ability to efficiently control optical quantum interference by the same device is a challenging task that promises to enable key operations in quantum information processing. Here, we tackle this problem by presenting a composite quantum plasmonic metasurface operating as an ultrathin non-unitary beamsplitter capable of achieving both single photon bosonic bunching and fermionic anti-bunching interference just by varying the incident photons frequency or changing the design dimensions. The presented metasurface combines a plasmonic grating corrugated by periodic nanoslits that can achieve extraordinary optical transmission with additional nanostripes on top forming nanocavities characterized by localized gap plasmon resonances. The photon-photon interactions are analyzed based on calculating the quantum coalescence metric which accurately portrays the obtained bunching or anti-bunching quantum interference. The presented quantum interference operation is applicable to both fundamental non-classical light interactions and in the design of more applied quantum optical logic gates used in quantum computing and communications.",
