Zero-Transmission Law for Multiport Beam Splitters

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: The Hong-Ou-Mandel effect is generalized to a configuration of n bosons prepared in the n input ports of a Bell multiport beam splitter. We derive a strict suppression law for most possible output events, consistent with a generic bosonic behavior after suitable coarse graining.
