摘要: The two-photon Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference is a pure quantum effect which indicates the degree of indistinguishability photons. four-photon HOM exhibits richer dynamics in comparison to and simultaneously more sensitive input photon states. We demonstrate theoretically experimentally an explicit dependency on number temporal modes, created process parametric down-conversion. Moreover, we exploit splitting ratio beam splitter manipulate between bunching antibunching. Our results reveal that mode structure (multimodeness) states shapes many-particle interference.
