- Abstract: The celebrated Hong-Ou-Mandel effect is the paradigm of two-particle quantum
interference. It has its roots in the symmetry of identical quantum particles,
as dictated by the Pauli principle. Two identical bosons impinging on a beam
splitter (of transmittance 1/2) cannot be detected in coincidence at both
output ports, as confirmed in numerous experiments with light or even matter.
Here, we establish that partial time reversal transforms the beamsplitter
linear coupling into amplification. We infer from this duality the existence of
an unsuspected two-boson interferometric effect in a quantum amplifier (of gain
2) and identify the underlying mechanism as timelike indistinguishability. This
fundamental mechanism is generic to any bosonic Bogoliubov transformation, so
we anticipate wide implications in quantum physics.

We study a model of amplification of quantum transfer and making it directed which we call the quantum ratchet model.
The ratchet effect is achieved in the quantum control model with dissipation and sink, where the Hamiltonian depends on vibrations in the energy difference synchronized with transitions between energy levels.
Amplitude and frequency of the oscillating vibron together with the dephasing rate are the parameters of the quantum ratchet which determine its efficiency.

We consider anyons, the fractionally charged quasi-particles 20 of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect occurring in two-dimensional electronic conductors in high magnetic fields.
Surprisingly, anyons show large quantum coherence when transmitted through the localized states of electronic Fabry-P'erot interferometers, but almost no quantum interference when transmitted via the propagating states of Mach-Zehnder interferometers.

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.
