An interference experiment with photon pairs produced by degenerate parametric fluorescence is performed. The pairs are split and directed to two spatially separated Michelson interferometers. The interferometers are set to path differences which cause time delays far exceeding the coherence time of the light. We investigate photon coincidences between the output arms of the interferometers and observe nonlocal fourth-order interferences in the absence of second-order interferences. Maximum visibilities up to 86% are obtained, leading to a violation of Bell's inequality for energy and time by several standard deviations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
