Beyond the HOM Dip: A Multi-Metric Module for Teaching Two-Mode Quantum Optical Interference
Melissa Coronado Arrieta, Boris Kiefer
The Hong--Ou--Mandel (HOM) effect is often introduced through a single benchmark: coincidence suppression for \(\ket{1}\otimes\ket{1}\) at a balanced beam splitter. We present a cl…

Photon-Conditioned Squeezed States for Directional Displacement Response in Continuous-Variable Photonics
Boris Kiefer, Olivier Pfister
Squeezed Fock states, photon-subtracted squeezed states, and optical cat states are established non-Gaussian resources in continuous-variable quantum optics. Here we compare these…
