Chirped-pulse interferometry published in Nature Physics

Automatic dispersion cancellation is one of the hallmark features of quantum interference, but does it really need any quantum resources? In this paper we demonstrate a new interference technique, called chirped-pulse interferometry, which exhibits automatic dispersion cancellation without entanglement or any quantum effects. No longer constrained to running two photons at a time, […]
