The effect is a spatial counterpart of the spectral group velocity dispersion cancellation, which is associated with spectral entanglement. It is manifested in temporal interferometry by virtue of the multi-parameter spatial-spectral entanglement. Spatially-entangled photons, generated by spontaneous parametric down conversion, were subjected to spatial aberrations introduced by a deformable mirror that modulates the wavefront. We show that only odd-order spatial aberrations affect the quality of quantum interference.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-12-03T09:09:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42.50.Dv", "03.67.Bg", "42.30.Kq", "42.50.St" ], "keywords": [ "quantum interferometry", "spectral group velocity dispersion cancellation", "odd-order spatial aberrations affect", "even-order aberration cancellation", "first experimental demonstration" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2008, "month": "Dec", "volume": 101, "number": 23, "pages": 233603 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvL.101w3603B" } } }
