Four-Photon (In)Distinguishability Transition
arXiv:1009.4998 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.83.062111
Abstract
We demonstrate the conspiration of many-particle interferences of different degree to determine the transmission of four photons of tunable indistinguishability through a four-port beam splitter array. The probability of certain output events depends non-monotonically on the degree of distinguishability, due to distinct multi-particle interference contributions to the transmission signal.
