Electron Quantum Optics: Partitioning Electrons One by One
Electron Quantum Optics: Partitioning Electrons One by One
We have realized a quantum optics like Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) experiment by partitioning, on an electronic beam splitter, single elementary electronic excitations produced one by one by an on-demand emitter. We show that the measurement of the output currents correlations in the HBT geometry provides a direct counting, at the …
