Assessing frequency correlation through a distinguishability measurement

Quantum Physics 2018-08-29 v1

Abstract

The simplicity of a question such as wondering if correlations characterize or not a certain system collides with the experimental difficulty of accessing such information. Here we present a low demanding experimental approach which refers to the use of a metrology scheme to obtain a conservative estimate of the strength of frequency correlations. Our testbed is the widespread case of a photon pair produced per downconversion. The theoretical architecture used to put the correlation degree on a quantitative ground is also described.
