Abstract

We have demonstrated for the first time that single photons in glass travel at the group velocity, and have observed a novel, nonlocal dispersion-cancellation effect. We used a two-photon interferometer in which a conjugate pair of photons produced in parametric fluorescence travel separate paths and are detected in coincidence after being recombined at a beam splitter. A piece of glass was placed in the path of one of the photons, and a variable delay was adjusted to precisely compensate for it. The single-photon propagation time was thus measured to within approximately 4 fsec.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
