These correlated absences, or “entangled photon holes,” can lead to counterintuitive nonlocal effects analogous to those of the more familiar entangled photon pairs. Here we report an experimental observation of photon holes generated using quantum interference effects to suppress the probability that two photons in a weak laser pulse will separate at an optical beam splitter.4 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
