The Hong-Ou-Mandel effect is really odd
Paul M. Alsing, Richard J. Birrittella, Christopher C. Gerry +2
When quantum state amplitudes interfere, surprising non-classical features emerge which emphasis the roles of indistinguishability and discreteness in quantum mechanics. A famous e…
Engineering superpositions of N00N states using an asymmetric non-linear Mach-Zehnder interferometer
R. J. Birrittella, P. M. Alsing, J. Schneeloch +3
We revisit a method for mapping arbitrary single-mode pure states into superpositions of N00N states using an asymmetric non-linear Mach-Zehnder interferometer (ANLMZI). This metho…
Extending the Hong-Ou-Mandel Effect: the power of nonclassicality
Paul M. Alsing, Richard J. Birrittella, Christopher C. Gerry +2
We show that the parity (evenness or oddness) of a nonclassical state of light has a dominant influence on the interference effects at a balanced beam splitter, irrespective of the…
Sequential discrimination of qudits by multiple observers
Mark Hillery, Jihane Mimih
We discuss a scheme in which sequential state-discrimination measurements are performed on qudits to determine the quantum state in which they were initially prepared. The qudits b…
The parity operator in quantum optical metrology
Christopher C. Gerry, Jihane Mimih
Photon number states are assigned a parity of if their photon number is even and a parity of if odd. The parity operator, which is minus one to the power of the photon number opera…
Heisenberg-limited interferometry with pair coherent states and parity measurements
Christopher C. Gerry, Jihane Mimih
After reviewing parity measurement based interferometry with twin-Fock states, which allows for super-sensitivity (Heisenberg-limited) and super-resolution, we consider interferome…
