Demonstration of temporal distinguishability in a four-photon state and a six-photon state.

An experiment is performed to demonstrate the temporal distinguishability of a four-photon state and a six-photon state, both from parametric down-conversion. The experiment is based on a multiphoton interference scheme in a recently discovered projection measurement of a maximally entangled N-photon state. By measuring the visibility of the interference dip, we can distinguish the various scenarios in the temporal distribution of the pairs and, thus, quantitatively determine the degree of temporal distinguishability of a multiphoton state.

Mode-locked two-photon states.

The concept of mode locking in laser is applied to a two-photon state with frequency entanglement. Cavity enhanced parametric down conversion is found to produce exactly such a state. The mode-locked two-photon state exhibits a comblike correlation function. An unbalanced Hong-Ou-Mandel type interferometer is used to measure the correlation function. A revival of the typical interference dip is observed. We will discuss a scheme for engineering of quantum states in time domain.

Observation of nonclassical photon statistics due to quantum interference.

Phase-dependent photon statistics is observed in the mixed field of a narrow band two-photon source and a coherent field. At a certain phase, the nonclassical effect of photon antibunching occurs while at another the photon bunching effect appears. Furthermore, we observed a novel nonclassical phenomenon that exhibits more complex structure. The different features in photon statistics are attributed to a two-photon interference effect.
