• Abstract: We show that the Bell-state phase of a polarization-entangled photon pair controls the biexciton eigenstate distribution produced by entangled two-photon absorption (ETPA) in monolayer WSe$_2$. In a frequency-nondegenerate ladder scheme, two independent valley pathways ($K$ and $K'$) share no intermediate state, so the biphoton phase sets the relative amplitude between them. Within the valley-symmetric limit this phase factorizes from the material response, and the resulting selection rule partitions the excitation among biexciton eigenstates according to the Bell-state phase $\varphi$. The symmetric Bell state ($\varphi = 0$) selectively drives bright eigenstates, while the antisymmetric state ($\varphi = π$) drives the exchange-dark eigenstate. No classical polarization source reproduces this $\varphi$-dependent eigenstate distribution. Including valley dephasing and intervalley scattering at 4~K, the phase-scan visibility exceeds $0.97$ for broadband SPDC ($T_e \sim 100$~fs) with high source purity.

• The quantum beam splitter with many partially indistinguishable photons: multiphotonic interference and asymptotic classical correspondence [44.99833362998488]
  We present the analysis of the quantum two-port interferometer in the $n rightarrow infty$ limit of $n$ partially indistinguishable photons. Our main result is that the output distribution is dominated by the $O(sqrtn)$ channels around a certain $j*$ that depends on the degree of indistinguishability. The form is essentially the doubly-humped semi-classical envelope of the distribution that would arise from $2 j*$ indistinguishable photons, and which reproduces the corresponding classical intensity distribution.
