Bunching of Photons When Two Beams Pass Through a a Beam Splitter | | K.T. McDonald
; L.J. Wang
; | | Date: |
3 Dec 2003 | | Subject: | quant-ph | | Abstract: | Dirac has written "Each photon then interferes only with itself. Interference between two different photons never occurs." Indeed, a practical definition is that "classical" optics consists of phenomena due to the interference of photons only with themselves. However, photons obey Bose statistics which implies a ``nonclassical’’ tendency for them to ``bunch’’. For a simple example of nonclassical optical behavior, we consider two pulses of photons of a single frequency that are simultaneously incident on two sides of a lossless, 50:50 beam splitter. | | Source: | arXiv, quant-ph/0312032 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
