Indistinguishable Photons from a Single Molecule
arXiv:quant-ph/0505024 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.94.223602
Abstract
We report the results of coincidence counting experiments at the output of a Michelson interferometer using the zero-phonon-line emission of a single molecule at . Under continuous wave excitation, we observe the absence of coincidence counts as an indication of two-photon interference. This corresponds to the observation of Hong-Ou-Mandel correlations and proves the suitability of the zero-phonon-line emission of single molecules for applications in linear optics quantum computation.
