Single-photon excitation of a coherent state: catching the elementary step of stimulated light emission
Alessandro Zavatta, Silvia Viciani, Marco Bellini
When a single quantum of electromagnetic field excitation is added to the same spatio-temporal mode of a coherent state, a new field state is generated that exhibits intermediate p…
Tomographic reconstruction of the single-photon Fock state by high-frequency homodyne detection
Alessandro Zavatta, Silvia Viciani, Marco Bellini
A single-photon Fock state has been generated by means of conditional preparation from a two-photon state emitted in the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion. A recent…
Recurrent fourth-order interference dips and peaks with a comb-like two-photon entangled state
Alessandro Zavatta, Silvia Viciani, Marco Bellini
We demonstrate full selective control over the constructive or destructive character of fourth-order recurring interferences in a modified version of a HOM interferometer using com…
