Coherently excited nonlocal quantum features using polarization-frequency correlation via a quantum eraser

Indistinguishability is an essential concept to understanding mysterious quantum features in the view point of the wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics. The fundamental physics of the indistinguishability lies in quantum superposition of a single photon via orthogonal bases in a Hilbert space. Here, a pure coherence approach is applied to the nonlocal correlation using coherent photons manipulated for polarization-frequency correlation. For this, both wave mixing and heterodyne detection techniques are applied for the delayed-choice experiments of a quantum eraser using coherent photons to selectively choose entangled photon pair-like inseparable tensor, otherwise resulting in a typical classical bound with 50 % visibility in nonlocality. Thus, the mysterious quantum feature of nonlocal correlation is now coherently understood and may open the door to macroscopic quantum information processing.
