We experimentally demonstrate the non-monotonic dependence of genuine many-particle interference signals on the particles mutual distinguishability. Our theoretical analysis shows that such non-monotonicity is a generic feature of the quantum to classical transition in multiparticle correlation functions of more than two particles.

Multiparticle interference is a fundamental phenomenon in the study of quantum mechanics.It was discovered in a recent experiment [Ra, Y.-S. et al, Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA textbf{110}, 1227(2013)] that spectrally uncorrelated biphotons exhibited a nonmonotonic quantum-to-classical transition in a four-photon Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference. In this work, we consider the same scheme with spectrally correlated photons.By theoretical calculation and numerical simulation, we found the transition not only can be nonmonotonic with negative-correlated or uncorrelated biphotons, but also can be monotonic with positive-correlated biphotons. The fundamental reason for this difference is that the HOM-type multi-photon interference is a differential-frequency interference. Our study may shed new light on understanding the role of frequency entanglement in multi-photon behavior.
We demonstrate three and four input multiports in a three dimensional glass platform, fabricated using the femtosecond laser direct-write technique. Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference is observed and a full quantum characterisation is performed, obtaining two photon correlation matrices for all combinations of input and output ports. For the three-port case, the quantum visibilities are accurately predicted solely from measurement of the classical coupling ratios.
We study the dynamical complexity of an open quantum driven double-well oscillator, mapping its dependence on effective Plancks constant $hbar_{eff}equivbeta$ and coupling to the environment, $Gamma$. We study this using stochastic Schrodinger equations, semiclassical equations, and the classical limit equation. We show that (i) the dynamical complexity initially increases with effective Hilbert space size (as $beta$ decreases) such that the most quantum systems are the least dynamically complex. (ii) If the classical limit is chaotic, that is the most dynamically complex (iii) if the classical limit is regular, there is always a quantum system more dynamically complex than the classical system. There are several parameter regimes where the quantum system is chaotic even though the classical limit is not. While some of the quantum chaotic attractors are of the same family as the classical limiting attractors, we also find a quantum attractor with no classical counterpart. These phenomena occur in experimentally accessible regimes.

We explore a possible connection between non-commutative space and the quantum-to-classical transition by computing the outcome of a double slit experiment in the non-commutative plane. We find that the interference term undergoes a Gaussian suppression at high momentum, which translates into a mass dependent suppression for composite objects and the emergence of classical behaviour at macroscopic scales.
We study how decoherence rules the quantum-classical transition of the Kicked Harmonic Oscillator (KHO). When the amplitude of the kick is changed the system presents a classical dynamics that range from regular to a strong chaotic behavior. We show that for regular and mixed classical dynamics, and in the presence of noise, the distance between the classical and the quantum phase space distributions is proportional to a single parameter $chiequiv Khbar_{rm eff}^2/4D^{3/2}$ which relates the effective Planck constant $hbar_{rm eff}$, the kick amplitude $K$ and the diffusion constant $D$. This is valid when $chi < 1$, a case that is always attainable in the semiclassical regime independently of the value of the strength of noise given by $D$. Our results extend a recent study performed in the chaotic regime.
