Induced Coherence, Vacuum Fields, and Complementarity in Biphoton Generation
arXiv:1409.5696 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.053601
Abstract
We describe spontaneous parametric down-conversion experiments in which induced coherence across two coupled interferometers results in high-visibility single-photon interference. Opening additional photon channels allows "which-path" information and reduces the visibility of the singlephoton interference, but results in nearly perfect visibility when photons are counted in coincidence. A simplified theoretical model accounts for these complementary observations and attributes them directly to the relations among the vacuum fields at the different crystals.
