Entanglement is a key resource in quantum technologies, enhancing precision and resolution in imaging and sensing by leveraging the cross-correlation of photon pairs. This correlation enables precise time synchronization of photons reaching…

For a HOM interferometer with two independent incident pulses, the interference pattern can be affected by adding a dispersion medium on one of the incident directions, but there hasn't been a method to reconstruct the phase constant of the…
