Deterministic quantum correlation in an interferometric scheme

Abstract: Over the last several decades, entangled photon pairs generated from \c{hi}^(2) nonlinear optical materials via spontaneous parametric down conversion processes have been intensively studied for various quantum correlations such as Bell inequality violation and anticorrelation. In a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, the photonic de Broglie wavelength has also been studied for quantum sensing with an enhanced phase resolution overcoming the standard quantum limit. Here, the fundamental principles of quantumness are investigated in an interferometric scheme for controllable quantum correlation not only for bipartite entangled photon pairs in a microscopic regime, but also for macroscopic coherence entanglement generation.
