Alain Aspect - Hanbury Brown - Twiss, Hong - Ou - Mandel, and other landmarks in quantum optics: from photons to atoms
The second quantum revolution is based on entanglement, discovered by Einstein and Schrödinger in 1935. Its extraordinary character has been experimentally demonstrated by landmark
experiments in quantum optics. At Institut d'Optique, we are currently revisiting these landmarks using atoms instead of photons, and after the observation of the atomic HBT1 and HOM
effects2, we are progressing towards a test of Bell's inequalities with pairs of momentum entangled atoms3.
This talk will be an opportunity to know Everything you always wanted to know about HBT, HOM,etc... (but were afraid to ask).
