Two indistinguishable photons entering a balanced beam splitter from different inputs bunch into the same output, producing the Hong–Ou–Mandel dip.
wp-physics-hong_ou_mandel_experimenthom-originalEach relation below ends at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Indistinguishable photons exhibit the exchange interference expected for bosons.
The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
wp-physics-hong_ou_mandel_experimenthom-originalThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The coincidence dip depends on erasing distinguishing information between the two photons.
The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
