If identical photons meet at a semi-transparent mirror they appear to leave in the same direction, an effect called "two-photon interference". It has been known for some time that this effect should occur for photons generated by dissimilar…
Interferometry has been used widely in sensing application. However, the technique is limited by the finite coherence time of the light sources when the interference paths are not balanced. Higher-order interference effects involve…
We show that matter-wave interference fringes formed by two overlapping atomic clouds can yield information about the non-local Bell correlations. To this end, we consider a simple atomic interferometer, where the clouds are released from…
