This effect is due to the bosonic nature of photons and was first experimentally observed by Hong, Ou and Mandel. Here, we present the observation of the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect with two independent single-photon sources in the microwave frequency domain. We probe the indistinguishability of single photons, created with a controllable delay, in time-resolved second-order cross- and auto-correlation function measurements. Using quadrature amplitude detection we are able to resolve different photon numbers and detect coherence in and between the output arms. This scheme allows us to fully characterize the two-mode entanglement of the spatially separated beam-splitter output modes. Our experiments constitute a first step towards using two-photon interference at microwave frequencies for quantum communication and information processing."}],"doi":"10.1038/nphys2612","intvolume":"         9","title":"Correlations, indistinguishability and entanglement in Hong-Ou-Mandel experiments at microwave frequencies","publisher":"Nature Publishing Group","day":"01","author":[{"last_name":"Lang","full_name":"Lang, C","first_name":"C"},{"last_name":"Eichler","first_name":"Christopher","full_name":"Eichler, Christopher"},{"first_name":"L.","full_name":"Steffen, L.
