Hanbury Brown–Twiss interferometry for fractional and integer Mott phases

The theoretical framework of Hanbury Brown–Twiss interferometry (HBTI) is used to study integer and fractionally filled Mott insulator (MI) phases in period-2 optical superlattices. In contrast to the quasimomentum distribution, this second order interferometry pattern exhibits high contrast fringes in the insulating phases. Our detailed study of HBTI suggests that this interference pattern sig...

Hanbury Brown and Twiss interferometry with twisted light.

The rich physics exhibited by random optical wave fields permitted Hanbury Brown and Twiss to unveil fundamental aspects of light. Furthermore, it has been recognized that optical vortices are ubiquitous in random light and that the phase distribution around these optical singularities imprints a spectrum of orbital angular momentum onto a light field. We demonstrate that random fluctuations of...

Hanbury-Brown Twiss Interferometry in Ultrarelativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

We discuss the elementary physics of the final state Coulomb interactions in HanburyBrown Twiss interferometry, showing – with explicit comparison to E877 data for π+π− and π±p – that the Coulomb corrections in the pair correlation function can be well understood in terms of simple classical physics. We connect the classical picture with descriptions in terms of Coulomb wave functions, and inve...

Photon Hanbury-Brown–Twiss interferometry for noncentral heavy-ion collisions

Currently, the only known way to obtain experimental information about the space-time structure of a heavy-ion collision is through two-particle momentum correlations. Azimuthally sensitive Hanbury-Brown–Twiss (HBT) intensity interferometry can complement elliptic flow measurements by constraining the spatial deformation of the source and its time evolution. Performing these measurements on pho...
