Milestones of the QuanTour...
29/07/2024: First Hong-Ou-Mandel interference ever measured in the UAM! We used a path unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer to characterise the photon indistinguishability of the QuanTour sample. The experiment has been performed by outstanding bachelor and PhD students!
