Description of the states of two-photon interference in an optical gating Michelson interferometer

Ekkarat Pongophas, Watthana Sriklin, Asawin Sinsarp +3 more

We investigate the interference of two photons in an optical gating Michelson interferometer. The phenomenon is studied using two different representations of photons: the space-time domain and a step-by-step two-photon state evolution. Both representations lead to identical results. The evolution analysis describes the result by the interference of four two-photon traveling states, whereas the space-time domain analysis reveals that the classical interference of the high-intensity light source is identical to two-photon interference in the quantum regime, except for a multiplicative factor of (n2), where n is the number of photons.

Two-Photon Interference and Entanglement in Coupled Cavities

Imran M. Mirza, S. J. van Enk

Two-photon interference effects, such as the Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect, can be used to characterize to what extent two photons are identical. Identical photons are necessary for both linear optics quantum computing and single-photon quantum cryptography. We study here how storage and delay of photons in coupled cavity arrays, which inevitably will lead to changes in the photons' spectral and temporal profiles, affects their HOM interference. In addition we consider various types of entanglement that occur naturally in such a context.

Two-photon Interference of Independent Identical Sources

We present an analysis of two-photon interference by emulating independent laser sources with delayed self homodyne technique. Laser linewidth was varied and coincidence counts were observed after a beam-splitter by photon counting.
