High-dimensional two-photon interference effects in spatial modes
arXiv:2006.13288 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.126.123601
Abstract
Two-photon interference is a fundamental quantum optics effect with numerous applications in quantum information science. Here, we study two-photon interference in multiple transverse-spatial modes along a single beam-path. Besides implementing the analogue of the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference using a two-dimensional spatial-mode splitter, we extend the scheme to observe coalescence and anti-coalescence in different three and four-dimensional spatial-mode multiports. The operation within spatial modes, along a single beam-path, lifts the requirement for interferometric stability and opens up new pathways of implementing linear optical networks for complex quantum information tasks.
