Abstract: We present a Bell-type polarization experiment using two independent sources of polarized optical photons, and detecting the temporal coincidence of pairs of uncorrelated photons which have never been entangled in the apparatus. Very simply, our measurements have tested the quantum-mechanical equivalent of the classical Malus' law on an incoherent beam of polarized photons obtained from two separate and independent laser sources greatly reduced in intensities.The outcome of the experiment gives evidence of violation of the Bell-like inequalities. Drawing the conclusions of the present work, we invoke the distinction between the concepts of state-preparation and measurement to understand this result.

Measuring the Evolution of Entanglement in Compton Scattering [101.11630543545151]
The behavior of quantum entanglement during scattering is identical to the behavior of initially classically correlated photons up to a constant factor equal to two. Our dedicated experiment with photons confirms these results and explains the "Puzzle of Decoherence" observed recently.

A macroscopic version of the delayed-choice experiments has been demonstrated using the classical means of Poisson distributed photons in a noninterfering Mach-Zehnder interferometer (NMZI) Indistinguishability limited to a single or entangled photon pairs needs to be reconsidered with basis (polarization) randomness for the nonlocal correlation.

Observations of the nonclassical feature of photon bunching on a beam splitter using coherent photons along the same input port [12.507208769851653]
We experimentally demonstrate coherent photon bunching on a beam splitter (BS) The mean value of the coincidence measurements between two output photons results in the nonclassical feature of photon bunching at a 50% rate. We discuss the origin of indistinguishability for this quantum feature using the wave nature of a photon to understand the role of a BS in quantum mechanics.

Single-photon nonlocality in quantum networks [55.41644538483948]
We show that the nonlocality of single-photon entangled states can nevertheless be revealed in a quantum network made only of beamsplitters and photodetectors. Our results show that single-photon entanglement may constitute a promising solution to generate genuine network-nonlocal correlations useful for Bell-based quantum information protocols.

Photon indistinguishability measurements under pulsed and continuous excitation [0.0]
Indistinguishability of successively generated photons from a single quantum emitter is most commonly measured using two-photon interference at a beam splitter. Here we derive a method to extract the photon indistinguishability from cw measurements by considering the relevant correlation functions.

Observation-dependent suppression and enhancement of two-photon coincidences by tailored losses [68.8204255655161]
Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect can lead to a perfect suppression of two-particle coincidences between the output ports of a balanced beam splitter. In this work, we demonstrate experimentally that the two-particle coincidence statistics of two bosons can instead be seamlessly tuned to substantial enhancement. Our findings reveal a new approach to harnessing non-Hermitian settings for the manipulation of multi-particle quantum states.

We investigate, in a four photon interference experiment in a laser-written waveguide structure, how symmetries control the suppression of many-body output events of a $J_x$ unitary. We show that totally destructive interference does not require mutual indistinguishability between all, but only between symmetrically paired particles.
