NOON state interference (NOON-SI) is a powerful tool to improve the phase sensing precision, and plays an important role in quantum measurement. In most of the previous NOON-SI experiments, the measurements were performed in time domain where the spectral information of the involved photons was integrated and lost during the measurement. In this work, we experimentally measured the joint spectral intensities (JSIs) at different positions of the interference patterns in both time and frequency domains. It was observed that the JSIs were phase-dependent and show odd (even)-number patterns at $0$ ($pi$) phase shift; while no interference appeared in time domain measurement, the interference pattern clearly appeared in frequency domain. To our best knowledge, the latter is the first observation of the spectrally resolved NOON state interference, which provides alternative information that cannot be extracted from the time-domain measurement. To explore its potential applications, we considered the interferometric sensing with our setup. From the Fisher information-based analysis, we show that the spectrally resolved NOON-SI has a better performance at non-zero-delay position than its non-spectrally resolved counterpart. The spectrally resolved NOON-SI scheme may be useful for quantum metrology applications such as quantum phase sensing, quantum spectroscopy, and remote synchronization.

Pairs of photons entangled in their time-frequency degree of freedom are of great interest in quantum optics research and applications, due to their relative ease of generation and their high capacity for encoding information. Here we analyze, both t
heoretically and experimentally, the behavior of phase-insensitive spectrally-resolved interferences arising from two pairs of time-frequency entangled photons. At its core, this is a multimode entanglement swapping experiment, whereby a spectrally resolved joint measurement on the idler photons from both pairs results in projecting the signal photons onto a Bell state whose form depends on the measurement outcome. Our analysis is a thorough exploration of what can be achieved using time-frequency entanglement and spectrally-resolved Bell-state measurements.
We measure spectrally and spatially resolved high-order harmonics generated in argon using chirped multi-cycle laser pulses. Using a stable, high-repetition rate laser we observe detailed interference structures in the far-field. The structures are o
f two kinds; off-axis interference from the long trajectory only and on-axis interference including the short and long trajectories. The former is readily visible in the far-field spectrum, modulating both the spectral and spatial profile. To access the latter, we vary the chirp of the fundamental, imparting different phases on the different trajectories, thereby changing their relative phase. Using this method together with an analytical model, we are able to explain the on-axis behaviour and access the dipole phase parameters for the short ((alpha_s)) and long ((alpha_l)) trajectories. The extracted results compare very well with phase parameters calculated by solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation. Going beyond the analytical model, we are also able to successfully reproduce the off-axis interference structure.
We show that the N-photon states produced by interference between laser light and downconverted light at the input of a two path interferometer can be characterized by a single tuning parameter that describes a transition from phase squeezing to near
ly maximal path entanglement and back. The quantum states are visualized on a sphere using the analogy between N-photon interference and the spin-N/2 algebra.
We demonstrate a Bell state analyzer that operates directly on frequency mismatch. Based on electro-optic modulators and Fourier-transform pulse shapers, our quantum frequency processor design implements interleaved Hadamard gates in discrete frequen
cy modes. Experimental tests on entangled-photon inputs reveal accuracies of $sim$98% for discriminating between the $|Psi^+rangle$ and $|Psi^-rangle$ frequency-bin Bell states. Our approach resolves the tension between wavelength-multiplexed state transport and high-fidelity Bell state measurements, which typically require spectral indistinguishability.
We show how to create maximal entanglement between spectrally distinct solid-state emitters embedded in a waveguide interferometer. By revealing the rich underlying structure of multi-photon scattering in emitters, we show that a two-photon input sta
te can generate deterministic maximal entanglement even for emitters with significantly different transition energies and line-widths. The optimal frequency of the input is determined by two competing processes: which-path erasure and interaction strength. We find that smaller spectral overlap can be overcome with higher photon numbers, and quasi-monochromatic photons are optimal for entanglement generation. Our work provides a new methodology for solid-state entanglement generation, where the requirement for perfectly matched emitters can be relaxed in favour of optical state optimisation.
