• Abstract: Recently, different experimental methods intended to detect the entangled two-photon absorption (ETPA) phenomenon in a variety of materials have been reported. The present work explores a different approach on which the ETPA process is studied based on the changes induced in the visibility of a Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interferogram. By using an organic solution of Rhodamine B as a model of nonlinear material interacting with entangled photons at 800 nm region produced by spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) Type-II, the conditions that make possible to detect changes in the visibility of a HOM interferogram upon ETPA are investigated. We support the discussion of our results by presenting a model in which the sample is considered as a spectral filtering function which fulfills the energy conservation conditions required by ETPA, allowing to explain the experimental observations with good agreement. We believe that this work represents a new perspective to studying the ETPA interaction, by using an ultra-sensitive quantum interference technique and a detailed mathematical model of the process.

• Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [49.1574468325115]
  Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them. Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.

  In this work, we focus on transmission measurements of entangled two-photon absorption (eTPA) We demonstrate that the so-called N00N-state configuration is the only one amongst those considered insensitive to linear (single-photon) losses. Our results show that N00N states may become a potentially powerful tool for quantum spectroscopy, and place them as a strong candidate for the certification of eTPA in an arbitrary sample.

  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.
