Abstract: Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect is known to be one of the main phenomena in quantum optics. The effect occurs when two identical single-photon waves enter a 1:1 beam splitter, one in each input port. When the photons are identical, they will extinguish each other. One of the main elements of the HOM interferometer is the beam splitter, which has its own coefficients of reflection $R = 1/2$ and transmission $ T = 1/2 $. In this work, the general mechanism of the interaction of two photons in a beam splitter is considered using an analytical solution, which shows that in the HOM theory of the effect it is necessary to know (including when planning the experiment) not only $ R = 1/2 $ and $ T = 1/2 $, but also their root-mean-square fluctuations $ \Delta R ^ 2, \Delta T ^ 2 $, which arise due to the dependence of $R = R(\omega_1, \omega_2) $ and $ T = T (\omega_1, \omega_2) $ on the frequencies where $\omega_1, \omega_2$ are the frequencies of the first and second photons, respectively. Under certain conditions, specifically when the dependence of the fluctuations $ \Delta R^2 $ and $ \Delta T^2 $ can be neglected and $ R=T=1/2 $ is chosen, the developed theory coincides with previously known results.

The quantum beam splitter with many partially indistinguishable photons: multiphotonic interference and asymptotic classical correspondence [44.99833362998488]
We present the analysis of the quantum two-port interferometer in the $n rightarrow infty$ limit of $n$ partially indistinguishable photons. Our main result is that the output distribution is dominated by the $O(sqrtn)$ channels around a certain $j*$ that depends on the degree of indistinguishability. The form is essentially the doubly-humped semi-classical envelope of the distribution that would arise from $2 j*$ indistinguishable photons, and which reproduces the corresponding classical intensity distribution.
