Another Hanbury Brown–Twiss Twist: Quantum Weirdness Returns
Definition of the Hanbury Brown-Twiss Effect The Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) effect is a fundamental phenomenon in quantum optics that reveals correlations in the intensity fluctuations of photons emitted from thermal or incoherent light sources. Initially demonstrated in the mid-20th century, this effect highlights how photons, when detected simultaneously after passing through a beam splitter, exhibit […]
