Tunable quantum interference of single photons using nonlinear nanophotonics

Schematic of the tunable quantum beat experiment utilizing two nonlinear nanophotonics chips

In Physical Review Applied, we report on using nonlinear nanophotonics to realize the tunable quantum interference of single photons (https://journals.aps.org/prapplied/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevApplied.12.054054).  The two non-degenerate (different in color) photons that comprise a photon-pair source created on one nanophotonic chip are made identical through quantum frequency conversion realized through a second nanophotonic chip.  The photons are then interfered to show that they have been made identical.
