Single-photon interference over large distances
James D. Franson,K. A. Potocki +1 more
TLDR
The interference pattern from a light source containing a single excited atom was observed with an interferometer 45 m in length as mentioned in this paper, where the visibility of the single-photon interference pattern was the same as that obtained with a high-intensity light source to within the experimental uncertainty of \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}5%.Abstract:

Coherent Interactions in Rare-Earth-Ion-Doped Crystals for Applications in Quantum Information Science
TL;DR: In this article, the use of cryogenically cooled rare-earth-ion-doped crystals for quantum information processing and quantum optics has been investigated, where the authors describe a scheme for storing the quantum state of light in a solid, using photon-echo-like techniques, is proposed and analyzed.

On the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that even without such a separability or locality requirement, no hidden variable interpretation of quantum mechanics is possible and that such an interpretation has a grossly nonlocal structure, which is characteristic of any such theory which reproduces exactly the quantum mechanical predictions.

Bell's theorem. Experimental tests and implications
John F. Clauser,Abner Shimony +1 more
TL;DR: Bell's theorem represents a significant advance in understanding the conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics as mentioned in this paper, showing that essentially all local theories of natural phenomena that are formulated within the framework of realism may be tested using a single experimental arrangement.

Experimental Evidence for a Photon Anticorrelation Effect on a Beam Splitter: A New Light on Single-Photon Interferences
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on two experiments using an atomic cascade as a light source, and a triggered detection scheme for the second photon of the cascade, which is in contradiction with any classical wave model of light but in agreement with a quantum description involving single-photon states.

Experimental distinction between the quantum and classical field-theoretic predictions for the photoelectric effect
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured various coincidence rates between four photomultiplier tubes viewing cascade photons on opposite sides of dielectric beam splitters and showed that the experimental configuration is sensitive to differences between the classical and quantum field-theoretic predictions for the photoelectric effect.
