6.453 Quantum Optical Communication Jeffrey H. Shapiro: 6.453 - Lecture 22

This document summarizes Lecture 22 of the MIT course 6.453 Quantum Optical Communication. The lecture covered quantum signatures from parametric interactions like the Hong-Ou-Mandel dip produced by parametric downconversion and polarization entanglement. It discussed the quantum interference of single photons using a Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer and coincidence counting. Finally, it examined photon twins from parametric amplifiers and their signal and variance properties. Lecture 23 was announced to cover more quantum optical applications including squeezed states for communication and sensing.
