From Many-Particle Interference to Correlation Spectroscopy
arXiv:1604.00649 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.94.020104
Abstract
We show how robust statistical features of a many-particle quantum state's two-point correlations after transmission through a multi-mode random scatterer can be used as a sensitive probe of the injected particles' mutual indistinguishability. This generalises Hong-Ou-Mandel interference as a diagnostic tool for many-particle transmission signals across multi-mode random scatterers. Furthermore, we show how, from such statistical features of the many-particle interference pattern, information can be deduced on the temporal structure of the many-particle input state, by inspection of the many-particle interference with an additional probe particle of tuneable distinguishability.
