About this simulation
Two pure Gaussian single-photon packets meet an ideal lossless 50:50 splitter. τc is the 1/e width of their squared temporal overlap. A coincidence means one photon in each output; bunching means two in one output. Detector noise and losses are omitted.
What students can explore
- Set delay and polarization difference to zero, then vary each separately. Where does the coincidence dip disappear?
- Indistinguishable photons arriving together leave the same output. Delay or orthogonal polarizations restore coincidences between D0 and D1.
Learning objectives
- 1Set delay and polarization difference to zero, then vary each separately. Where does the coincidence dip disappear?
