Generation and detection of two-photon coherent states in degenerate four-wave mixing
Abstract
It is shown that degenerate four-wave mixing generates two-photon coherent states (TCS) of the radiation field for modes that are proper combinations of the output object and image waves. TCS light has novel quantum behavior, which can be probed by homodyne detection, intensity interferometry, or photocount statistics. Numerical estimates indicate that the generation and detection of TCS light via degenerate four-wave mixing and homodyne detection can be accomplished with current technology.

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.
