Detector-Conditioned Source-Space Nulls and Null-Mask Loss in a Programmable Two-Slit Interferometer

Jianming Wen

Afshar's double-slit experiment probes wave--particle complementarity by placing a wire grid at the dark fringes of a downstream interference pattern while retaining an imaging bas…

Fixed-detector tilt--defocus sensing by upstream source coding in a time-reversed Young interferometer

Jianming Wen

We propose a physically explicit sensing application of a time-reversed Young (TRY) interferometer: simultaneous monitoring of beam tilt and focus drift with a fixed detector. The…

Entropic Reciprocity in Time-Reversed Young Interferometry

Jianming Wen

We show that time-reversed Young interferometry reorganizes, rather than reverses, optical entropy. A fixed detector conditions the reciprocal source--detector Green function and p…

Multi-slit time-reversed Young interference: source-space grating laws, quadratic-phase effects, and Talbot-like revivals

Jianming Wen

We develop a compact theory of time-reversed Young (TRY) interference beyond the symmetric two-slit geometry by considering equally spaced three-slit, finite -slit, and infinite…

Four-wave mixing with anti-parity-time symmetry in hot Rb vapor

Ziqi Niu, Yue Jiang, Jianming Wen +3

We report an experimental demonstration of anti-parity-time (anti-PT) symmetric optical four-wave mixing in thermal Rubidium vapor, where the propagation of two conjugate optical f…

Direct generation of time-energy-entangled W triphotons in atomic vapor

Kangkang Li, Jianming Wen, Yin Cai +6

Sources of entangled multiphotons are not only essential for fundamental tests of quantum foundations, but are also the cornerstone of a variety of optical quantum technologies tod…
