Detecting one of the photons heralded the presence of the other photon in its fiber with a probability of 83%. The heralded photons were then used in a simple multi-photon interference experiment to illustrate their potential for quantum information applications.4 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
