Two-photon interference effects arise because photons are indistinguishable particles. In the wellknown Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect, the transmission of two photons at a beam splitter interferes destructively with the reflection of both…

The observed scarcity of chaotic phenomena in astronomy contrasts sharply with their theoretical significance, primarily due to the absence of a robust framework for detecting chaos. In this study, we numerically simulate the light curves…
