• Abstract: Quantum entanglement generation is generally known to be impossible by any classical means. According to Poisson statistics, coherent photons are not considered quantum particles due to the bunching phenomenon. Recently, a coherence approach has been applied to interpret quantum features such as the Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect, Franson-type nonlocal correlation, and delayed-choice quantum eraser, where the quantum feature is due to basis-product superposition at the cost of 50 % photon loss. For this, it has been understood that a fixed sum-phase relation between paired photons is the bedrock of quantum entanglement. Here, coherently driven quantum features of the HOM effects are presented using linear optics-based polarization-basis control. Like quantum operator-based destructive interference in the HOM theory, a perfectly coherent analysis shows the same photon bunching of the paired coherent photons on a beam splitter, whereas individual output intensities are uniform.

  Indistinguishability is an essential concept to understanding mysterious quantum features in the view point of the wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics. Here, a pure coherence approach is applied to the nonlocal correlation using coherent photons manipulated for polarization-frequency correlation. The mysterious quantum feature of nonlocal correlation is now coherently understood and may open the door to macroscopic quantum information processing.

A strong mutual phase dependency is the essential requirement for the nonclassical feature of photon bunching. On behalf of a coherent model with a single input-port BS system, an extended scheme of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is analyzed.

  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.
