Abstract

We observed first asymmetric Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) revival interferences in a singly-filtered biphoton frequency comb. We measure up to 10 time-bins, and the witnessed central HOM dip has an accidental-subtracted visibility of 72.95 ± 0.8%.

We demonstrated the dispersion cancellation on two-photon Hong-Ou-Mandel interference revival via a biphoton frequency comb for the first time. The temporal spacing between Hong-Ou-Mandel interference dips can be modified by applying dispersion.

Asymmetric photon bunching recurring interferences and distributions via quantum frequency combs

Kai-Chi Chang, Xiang Cheng, Yujie Chen +1 more

Abstract Quantum frequency combs (QFCs) exhibit periodic temporal recurrences arising from the Fourier transform of their mode-locked frequency spectra. While QFCs have been experimentally demonstrated, asymmetric Hong–Ou–Mandel (HOM) revival interference in QFCs has not been systematically investigated, and the efficient distribution of photon-bunching revivals has remained unreported. Here, we present the first experimental observation and distribution of asymmetric HOM recurrence interference using QFCs. First, we verified HOM revivals spanning 10 time-bins in a 10.21 GHz QFC, obtaining a 72.95 ± 0.8% visibility for its central dip. Then, we measured up to 20 time-bins from a 50 GHz QFC, with an accidental-subtracted central HOM dip visibility of 70.82 ± 0.7%. Finally, we distributed the QFC after 21 km optical fibers without dispersion compensation, observing photon bunching measurements across 12 time-bins, with a central dip visibility of 70.5 ± 0.9%. The deviation from ideal HOM interference is attributed to residual frequency distinguishability between the signal and idler photons, as confirmed in our theoretical calculations. These results establish QFCs as a viable platform for advanced quantum information processing tasks, such as high-dimensional entanglement swapping and quantum communication testbeds.

Hectometer Revivals of Quantum Interference

Markus Rambach, W. Y. Sarah Lau, Simon Laibacher +3 more

Cavity-enhanced single photon sources exhibit mode-locked biphoton states with comblike correlation functions. Our ultrabright source additionally emits single photon pairs as well as two-photon NOON states, dividing the output into an even and an odd comb, respectively. With even-comb photons we demonstrate revivals of the typical nonclassical Hong-Ou-Mandel interference up to the 84th dip, corresponding to a path length difference exceeding 100 m. With odd-comb photons we observe single photon interference fringes modulated over twice the displacement range of the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference.

Observation of single photon interference and Hong-Ou-Mandel dip

P Munkhbaatar, Ts Baatarchuluun, Duger Ulam-Orgikh +2 more

We have built a cost effective Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interferometer by using a conventional cheap multimode laser and a home-made coincidence counting circuit and we have observed the single photon interference and HOM dip making us to measure the bandpass filter. We expect it could be a good model to the graduates trying a variety of quantum optics experiments.

Spatial quantum beating in a cavity-filtered biphoton frequency comb

We examine frequency entanglement via spatial quantum beating in a biphoton frequency comb, for both doubly and singly-filtered cases. The observed HOM revival is the incoherent superposition of SQB from different frequency pairs.
