Abstract
We investigate the relation between indistinguishability and quantum entanglement in Hong-Ou-Mandel interference experiments theoretically and relate these quantum mechanical principles to the theorem of entanglement monogamy. Employing Glauber's theory of quantum coherence we compute the detection statistics in HOM interference of frequency-entangled photons and find an additional term in the coincidence detection probability, which is related to the spectral indistinguishability of the considered photons that arises from finite-bandwidth effects and therefore is relevant in the limit of low-frequency separations or large single-photon bandwidths. Compared to previous work in that context we treat all photonic degrees of freedom on equal footing.
