contents The phenomenon of interaction-free measurement (IFM) enables the probabilistic detection of an absorbing object with reduced photon absorption. We report the experimental implementation of a simultaneous IFM of multiple objects using a single quantum probe on the cloud-based Ascella photonic processor of company Quandela. We demonstrate sequential IFM of up to 5 objects using a single photon, significantly extending the original IFM scheme for a single object. The experimental error-mitigated results confirm the theoretical predictions for this sequential IFM setup, and demonstrate a practical approach to scaling IFM to more complex quantum interrogation tasks.
