Quantum interference with photon pairs created in spatially separated sources

arXiv:quant-ph/0208174 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.67.022301

Abstract

We report on a quantum interference experiment to probe the coherence between two photons coming from non degenerate photon pairs at telecom wavelength created in spatially separated sources. The two photons are mixed on a beam splitter and we observe a reduction of up to 84% in the coincidence count rate when the photons are made indistinguishable. This experiment constitutes an important step towards the realization of quantum teleportation and entanglement swapping with independent sources.
