Malte Christopher Tichy, Markus Tiersch, Fernando de Melo, Florian, Mintert, Andreas Buchleitner
TL;DR
This paper generalizes the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect to multiport beam splitters with n bosons, deriving a strict suppression law for most output events, revealing fundamental bosonic interference properties.
Contribution
It introduces a zero-transmission law for multiport beam splitters, extending the understanding of bosonic interference beyond the traditional two-port case.
Findings
Most output events are strictly suppressed in the multiport configuration.
The suppression law aligns with bosonic behavior after coarse graining.
The results generalize the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect to n-port systems.
Abstract
The Hong-Ou-Mandel effect is generalized to a configuration of n bosons prepared in the n input ports of a Bell multiport beam splitter. We derive a strict suppression law for most possible output events, consistent with a generic bosonic behavior after suitable coarse graining.
