Polarized Light and Optical Systems presents polarization optics for undergraduate and
graduate students in a way which makes classroom teaching relevant to current issues in …

Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) has been extensively studied for the
case of a continuous wave pump. In this paper SPDC is studied for the case in which the …

A general theory is derived for the interference of a two-photon wavepacket in a
beamsplitter. The theory is presented in the Schrödinger picture so that the quantum nature …

A general and an arbitrarily efficient scheme for entangling the spins (or any spinlike degree
of freedom) of two independent uncorrelated identical particles by a combination of two …

Abstract Evaluation of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) theory requires an entangled
n-particle state with n>~ 3. To date, experimental achievement of a suitable GHZ state has …

Publisher Summary The quantum analog of classical coherence functions helps to
characterize the coherence properties of nonclassical radiation. Measurements of second …

We consider an entangled two-particle state that is produced from two independent
downconversion laser sources by the process of “entanglement swapping,” so that the …

Spin-correlated interferometry of the fourth order for independent polarized as well as
unpolarized photons arriving simultaneously at a beam splitter and exhibiting spin …

We show that in any quantum direct communication protocol that is based on Ψ and Φ Bell
states, an eavesdropper can always tell Ψ from Φ states without altering the transmission in …

We again consider (as in a companion paper) an entangled two-particle state that is
produced from two independent downconversion sources by the process of “entanglement …
