The photonic de Broglie wavelength of a non-degenerate entangled photon pair is measured by using a Young’s double slit interferometer, which proves that the non-degenerate entangled photon pairs have the potential to be used in quantum lithography. Experimental results show that the de Broglie wavelength of non-degenerate biphotons is well defined and its wavelength is neither the wavelength of the signal photon, nor the wavelength of the idler photon. According to the de Broglie equation, its wavelength corresponds to the momentum of the biphoton, which equals the sum of the momenta of signal and idler photons. The non-degenerate ghost interference/diffraction is also observed in these experiments.

Positioning accuracy of the traditional positioning has been limited because of the power and bandwidth limitation, quantum entanglement and compression technology can greatly improve the accuracy of measurement and synchronization. So, using the coherence of entangled photons and the principle of quantum spatial positioning, the scheme of quantum positioning with entangled photon pair was proposed, which was consisted of ground unit, satellite and the user three parts, the ground unit respectively sent EPR entangled photon pairs to two satellites three times, then the entangled photon pairs were sent to user by satellites, User carrying HOM interferometer, when the coincidence counting rate reaches the maximum three times, the user location can be got by computing. In the end, the quantum positioning and the traditional positioning technology were compared from the aspects of positioning accuracy, safety and so on.

I discuss the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment by drawing an analogy to a Bell-type measurement and giving a straightforward account in standard quantum mechanics. The delayed choice quantum eraser experiment turns out to resemble a Bell-type scenario in which the resolution of the paradox is rather trivial, and so there really is no mystery.  At first glance, the experiment suggests that measurements on one part of an entangled photon pair (the idler) can be employed to control whether the measurement outcome of the other part of the photon pair (the signal) produces interference fringes at a screen after being sent through a double slit. Significantly, the choice whether there is interference or not can be made long after the signal photon encounters the screen. The results of the experiment have been alleged to invoke some sort of backwards in time influence. I argue that this issue can be eliminated by taking into proper account the role of the signal photon. Likewise, in the de Broglie–Bohm picture the trajectories of the particle can be given a well-defined description at any instant of time during the experiment. Thus, it is again clear that there is no need to resort to any kind of backwards in time influence.Quanta 2019; 8: 44-56.

AbstractOver the last several decades, entangled photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric down conversion processes in both second-order and third-order nonlinear optical materials have been intensively studied for various quantum features such as Bell inequality violation and anticorrelation. In an interferometric scheme, anticorrelation results from photon bunching based on randomness when entangled photon pairs coincidently impinge on a beam splitter. Compared with post-measurement-based probabilistic confirmation, a coherence version has been recently proposed using the wave nature of photons. Here, the origin of quantum features in a coupled interferometric scheme is investigated using pure coherence optics. In addition, a deterministic method of entangled photon-pair generation is proposed for on-demand coherence control of quantum processing.
