Single molecules exhibit two-photon interference in experiments, demonstrating Hong-Ou-Mandel correlations. This confirms their potential for quantum optics applications.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum optics
  • Single-molecule spectroscopy
  • Quantum computation

Background:

  • Single molecules are promising sources for quantum optics.
  • Interferometry experiments are crucial for quantum information processing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate two-photon interference from single-molecule emission.
  • To demonstrate the suitability of single molecules for quantum optics applications.

Main Methods:

  • Coincidence counting experiments were performed.
  • A Michelson interferometer was utilized.
  • Zero-phonon-line emission from a single molecule at 1.4 K was used.

Main Results:

  • Absence of coincidence counts was observed under continuous wave excitation.
