Multi-Photon Interference and Temporal Distinguishability of Photons
A number of recent interference experiments involving multiple photons are reviewed. These experiments include generalized photon bunching effects, generalized Hong-OuMandel interference effects and multi-photon interferometry for demonstrations of multiphoton de Broglie wavelength. The multi-photon states used in these experiments are from two pairs of photons in parametric down-conversion. We...
متن کاملTwo-photon interference of temporally separated photons
We present experimental demonstrations of two-photon interference involving temporally separated photons within two types of interferometers: a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and a polarization-based Michelson interferometer. The two-photon states are probabilistically prepared in a symmetrically superposed state within the two interferometer arms by introducing a large time delay between two inpu...
متن کاملTwo-Photon Interference without Bunching Two Photons
We report an interference experiment in which the two-photon entangled state interference cannot be pictured in terms of the overlap and bunching of two individual photons on a beamsplitter. We also demonstrate that two-photon interference, or photon bunching effect on a beamsplitter, does not occur if the two-photon Feynman amplitudes are distinguishable, even though individual photons do over...

متن کاملDistinguishability and Many-Particle Interference.
Quantum interference of two independent particles in pure quantum states is fully described by the particles' distinguishability: the closer the particles are to being identical, the higher the degree of quantum interference. When more than two particles are involved, the situation becomes more complex and interference capability extends beyond pairwise distinguishability, taking on a surprisin...
