Interference of macroscopic beams on a beam splitter: phase uncertainty converted into photon-number uncertainty
Squeezed-vacuum twin beams, commonly generated through parametric down-conversion, are known to have perfect photon-number correlations. According to the Heisenberg principle, this is accompanied by a huge uncertainty in their relative phase. By overlapping bright twin beams on a beam splitter, we c...
