Abstract

We report on a double slit experiment where indistinguishable correlated photons generated through spontaneous parametric down-conversion, are each sent to a well-defined slit. An analysis of the results allows a test of de Broglie-Bohm mechanics against standard quantum mechanics.

In this paper we present a double-slit experiment where two indistinguishable photons produced by type-I parametric down-conversion are each sent to a well-defined slit. Data about the diffraction and interference patterns for coincidences are presented and discussed. An analysis of these data allows a test of standard quantum mechanics against the de Broglie--Bohm theory.

Realizzazione di un esperimento innovativo con doppia fenditura utilizzando coppie correlate di fotoni

Giuseppe Falzetta

In this Thesis I present a double slit experiment where two undistinguishable photons produced by type I PDC are sent each to a well defined slit. Data about the diffraction and interference patterns for coincidences are presented and discussed. An analysis of these data allows a first test of standard quantum mechanics against de Broglie-Bohm theory.

Comment on “Biphoton double-slit experiment”

Xavier Oriols

In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. A 68, 033803 (2003)] experimental results on a double-slit configuration with two entangled bosons are presented. The authors argue that their data contradicts the de Broglie--Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics. In this Comment we show that this conclusion is incorrect.

James S. Bell

The de Broglie-Bohm version of quantum mechanics is applied to the delayed-choice double-slit experiment. The role of the density matrix is considered.

De Broglie-Bohm Quantum Optics and Photon Interference

Kazuyasu Shigemoto

We formulate photon interference using de Broglie-Bohm quantum optics instead of standard quantum optics. We address the most basic interference experiments: Young’s double-slit single-photon interference and Hanbury Brown-Twiss two-photon interference. We found that the conditions for strong interference in both interference experiments can be expressed in a generalized Bohr’s quantum condition.

Two-photon double-slit interference experiment

C. K. Hong, Tae-Gon Noh

We report a two-photon double-slit interference experiment. Two correlated photons, generated by spontaneous parametric downconversion and traveling in different directions, are made to pass through a double slit in such a way that the path of one photon can be identified with that of the other photon. No single-photon interference pattern is observed even if the path is not actually identified, but a spatial interference pattern appears in the joint detection counting rates of the photon pairs. It can easily be shown that these nonlocal phenomena cannot be exhibited by any kind of classical field.
