Phys. Rev. A 69, 063814 (2004) [5 pages]Photon-exchange effects on photon-pair transmissionReceived 25 May 2003; revised 25 August 2003; published 22 June 2004 It has been proposed that photon-exchange effects associated with virtual atomic absorption could have widespread application in quantum information processing. Here we investigate simpler exchange effects associated with real absorption as modeled by an equivalent linear optical filter. Using nonclassical pairs of photons with variable time separation, we observe a maximum suppression of pair transmission by at least 5% with respect to the result for independent photons. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
