Abstract

We study transverse spatial coherence of approximately localized single-photon states. We demonstrate nonlocal control over single-photon spatial coherence via projective measurements of an entangled twin and provide a theoretical interpretation from quantum coherence theory. Our results show that the spatial coherence of a single-photon state behaves similarly to that of a classical optical field, although the coincidence measurement adds a degree of freedom.
