Photon indistinguishability is a measure of photons' potential to interfere.
A leap towards practical photonic quantum computing: New method can measure large-scale quantum correlation of single photons, which until now would have required thousands of single photon counters
Many researchers have tried to produce sources that could emit such coherent single photons, but all have had limitations.
Quantum Dots Can Spit out Clone-Like Photons
He added: "Our method also solves a problem that has puzzled scientists for about 20 years--how to use this Purcell Effect to speed up photon production in an efficient way.
Faster photons could enable total data security
Predictions for the Isolated Prompt Photon Production at 13 TeV
Predictions for the Isolated Prompt Photon Production at the LHC at [square root of (s)] = 13TeV
But in a new experiment, only multiple sequences occurring in parallel could explain changes to a photon between times A and B.
Quantum histories get all tangled up: tracing a particle's past can require multiple chronologies
(7) and (8) so far for free-space photon is limited to one-dimension and our current view on the photon is limited.
A classical model of the photon
SPDC has been widely used for the generation of entangled photon pairs.
Photonic quantum information: science and technology
You are most familiar with photons with energies of about half a million energy units.
Evidence of cell tower, cancer link is lacking
"At PHOTON Cloud-to-Consumer means a one stop shop that both Enterprise CIO and CMOs can agree on for mobile and multichannel user experiences" said Srinivas Balasubramanian, Chief Executive Officer, Photon Infotech.
Photon Infotech, the Largest Global Provider of Cloud-to-Consumer User Experiences(TM) Today Launched Its New Interactive Website
As defined by theory, ALPs can turn into photons (and vice versa) in a strong magnetic field, like that in a blazar's core.
Distant galaxies hint at exotic particle
(2) Single-photon emitter: A light source capable of emitting a string of pulses that are each a single photon. This can be achieved by quantum dots, atoms, or ions with discrete energy levels, but only quantum dots can achieve wavelengths suited to communications at present.
