We calculate the transfer rate of correlations from polarization entangled photons to the collective spin of a many-electron state in a two-band system. It is shown that when a semiconductor absorbs pairs of photons from a two-mode squeezed…
We study the Bose-Einstein correlations of two photons and their coherent properties that can provide the information about the space-time structure of the emitting source through the Higgs-boson decays into two photons. We argue that such…

The two-particle correlation function employed in Hanbury-Brown Twiss interferometry and femtoscopy is traditionally parameterized by a Gaussian form. Other forms, however, have also been used, including the somewhat more general L\'evy…
