Conditions for Factorizable Output From a Beam splitter
S. C. Springer, Jinhyoung Lee, M. Bellini +1
A beam splitter is one of the most important devices in an optics laboratory because of its handiness and versatility; equivalent devices are found in various quantum systems to co…
Scheme for proving the bosonic commutation relation using single-photon interference
M. S. Kim, H. Jeong, A. Zavatta +2
We propose an experiment to directly prove the commutation relation between bosonic annihilation and creation operators, based on the recent experimental success in single-photon s…
Experimental determination of a nonclassical Glauber-Sudarshan P function
T. Kiesel, W. Vogel, V. Parigi +2
A quantum state is nonclassical if its Glauber-Sudarshan P function fails to be interpreted as a probability density. This quantity is often highly singular, so that its reconstruc…
Single-photon excitation of a coherent state: catching the elementary step of stimulated light emission
Alessandro Zavatta, Silvia Viciani, Marco Bellini
When a single quantum of electromagnetic field excitation is added to the same spatio-temporal mode of a coherent state, a new field state is generated that exhibits intermediate p…
Tomographic reconstruction of the single-photon Fock state by high-frequency homodyne detection
Alessandro Zavatta, Silvia Viciani, Marco Bellini
A single-photon Fock state has been generated by means of conditional preparation from a two-photon state emitted in the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion. A recent…
Recurrent fourth-order interference dips and peaks with a comb-like two-photon entangled state
Alessandro Zavatta, Silvia Viciani, Marco Bellini
We demonstrate full selective control over the constructive or destructive character of fourth-order recurring interferences in a modified version of a HOM interferometer using com…
