Symmetries and entanglement features of inner-mode resolved correlations of interfering nonidentical photons
arXiv:1706.05578 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.98.053829
Abstract
Multiphoton quantum interference underpins fundamental tests of quantum mechanics and quantum technologies. Consequently, the detrimental effect of photon distinguishability in multiphoton interference experiments can be catastrophic. Here, we employ correlation measurements in the photonic inner modes, time or frequency, to restore quantum interference between photons differing in their colors or injection times in arbitrary linear optical networks, without the need for additional filtering or post selection. Interestingly, we demonstrate how harnessing the multiphoton inner-mode quantum information enables to unravel symmetries of multiphoton networks and states and the generation of an entire class of multipartite entangled states with a fixed interferometer. These results are therefore of profound interest for future applications of universal inner-mode resolved linear optics across fundamental science and quantum technologies with photons with experimentally different spectral properties.
