• Abstract: We show a wave-particle duality of light and its complementary relation in the context of the intensity interference measured by intensity correlation measurement, especially for the case of the second-order intensity interference observed in the Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer. Different from the complementary relation appearing in the interference based on the phase coherence like in the Young's double-slit interferometer, the complementary relation in the intensity interference has a gap between classical and nonclassical lights. This reveals a new nonclassical nature of light where both wave and particle properties are classically understandable. We further extend the wave-particle duality and the complementarity to higher-order intensity interferometric situations.

• Coherence and entropy complementarity relations of generalized wave-particle duality [0.0]
  We construct measures for the predictability and visibility of $n$-path interference to quantify the wave and particle properties in quantum high-dimensional systems. By employing the Morozova-Chentsov function, we ascertain that the wave-particle relationship can be delineated by the average coherence. This function exhibits a close correlation with the metric-adjusted skew information, thereby we establish complementary relations between visibility, predictability, and quantum $f$ entropy.

• Two-colour photon correlations probe coherent vibronic contributions to electronic excitation transport under incoherent illumination [41.94295877935867]
  We consider a prototype light-harvesting heterodimer exhibiting coherent and collective exciton-vibration interactions. We show that coherent vibronic mechanisms strongly affect the asymmetries characteristic of time-resolved photon cross-correlations. We discuss how such second-order correlation asymmetry establishes important connections between coherent vibronic interactions, directional exciton population transport, and violation of quantum detailed balance.

• Entanglement-induced collective many-body interference [62.22849132943891]
  We propose an interferometric setting through which N-particle interference can be observed, while any interference of lower orders is strictly suppressed. We experimentally demonstrate this effect in a four-photon interferometer, where the interference is nonlocal, in principle. A joint detection of all four photons identifies a high-visibility interference pattern varying as a function of their collective four-particle phase, a genuine four-body property.

  Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

• Multipath Wave-Particle Duality in Classical Optics [0.0]
  In classical optics, the visibility of interference, in a two-beam light interference, is related to the optical coherence of the two beams. A wave-particle duality relation can be derived using this mutual coherence. New definitions of interference visibility and path distinguishability have been introduced, which lead to a duality relation for multipath interference.
