# [Beamsplitters](@id Beamsplitter)

Having introduced multiple waveguides in [`Multiple Waveguides`](@ref multiple), it is natural to implement the beamsplitter operation and consider some of the common measurements one would make on states having undergone a beamsplitter transformation.

We start by introducing how a beamsplitter can be implemented using two waveguides that interact. For simplicity, we start by considering only a single photon in one waveguide. First we create the basis, operators of the multiple waveguides and an initial single photon state with a gaussian wavefunction residing in waveguide 1:

A more automatic and equivalent method is, however, instead to let the waveguide state undergo evolution under the Hamiltonian: $H = V( w_{k,1}^\dagger w_{k,2} + w_{k,2}^\dagger w_{k,1})$, which performs the same transformation. See [Section 4.3](https://github.com/qojulia/WaveguideQED.jl/blob/main/Thesis/Master_s_thesis__Modeling_Tools_For_Quantum_Networks%20(9).pdf) for details of the derivation. We can confirm this by:

Here we see this population of waveguide 1 and 2 after the transformation vary as cosines and sines as we change the interaction parameter V. Thus, we confirm that we are applying the desired transformation. For an even beamsplitter, we thus choose $V=\pi/4$

## [Hong Ou Mandel with twophotons](@id hom)
As a more advanced example, we now consider a Hong Ou Mandel setup, where we have one photon in each waveguide impinging on a beamsplitter. If the two photons equivalent, we will see the Hong Ou Mandel effect and thus expect no photons in both waveguide simultanouesly after the transformation. As a measure of this, we calcuate the chance of having a coincedence count where one photon is in waveguide 1 while the other is in waveguide 2. This calculated using the two projection operators:

where $w_1(t)$ and $w_2(t)$ are lowering operators for two waveguides. The chance of coincidence count is computed by $\langle\psi|P_1 P_2 |\psi\rangle$.

Here we evaluate $w_1^\dagger(t) w_1(t)$ at one timeidex `i`, while we evaluate $w_2^\dagger(t) w_2(t)$ at another timeidex `j`. Together this gives us the total coincedence count chance. In the following, we use the Hamiltonian from the previous section with $V=\pi/4$ and consider two Gaussian photons in each their waveguide with different centers of time $t_0$. By changing the difference in $t_0$, we can see the transition from a perfect overlap meaning no coincedence count, to no overlap meaning that the two photons never interact. In this case, the two photons will split up randomly and $1/4$ of the time they will end up in waveguide 1, similarly $1/4$ of the time they will end up in waveguide 2, and the remaining $1/2$ time they will end up in each of their waveguides. Thus, we expect a coincedence count of $1/2$ when the two pulses are fully seperated. Note that in the above function, we can just use the waveguide operators as projectors as we never have twophotons in both waveguides.

We could also have created this plot by performing the the beamsplitter operation by hand and instead initializing the state directly in this state. The initial state we consider is a single photon in each waveguide: $$|\psi \rangle = \int \int dt_1 dt_2 \xi_1(t_1) \xi_2(t_2) w_1^\dagger(t_1) w_2^\dagger(t_2) \ket{\emptyset}$$, where $$\xi_1(t_1)$$ and $$\xi_2(t_2)$$ denote the wavefunction of the photon in waveguide 1 and 2, respectively. Notice that there is not factor of $$1/\sqrt(2)$$ in front of the initial state as the two photons occupy each their waveguide. If they initially occupied the same waveguide, we would need a factor of $$1/\sqrt(2)$$ for the state to be normalized. Performing the beamsplitter operation $w_1(t) \rightarrow 1/\sqrt(2) ( w_1(t) - i w_2(t))$ and $w_2(t) \rightarrow 1/\sqrt(2) ( - i w_1(t) + w_2(t))$, we arrive at the transformed state:

$$\begin{equation*}
|\psi \rangle_{BS} = \frac{1}{2}\left ( i \int \int dt_1 dt_2 \xi_1(t_1) \xi_2(t_2) w_1^\dagger(t_1) w_1^\dagger(t_2) \ket{\emptyset} - i \int \int dt_1 dt_2 \xi_1(t_1) \xi_2(t_2) w_2^\dagger(t_1) w_2^\dagger(t_2) \ket{\emptyset} + \int \int dt_1 dt_2 \xi_1(t_1) \xi_2(t_2) w_1^\dagger(t_1) w_2^\dagger(t_2)\ket{\emptyset} \right - \int \int dt_1 dt_2 \xi_1(t_1) \xi_2(t_2) w_2^\dagger(t_1) w_1^\dagger(t_2)\ket{\emptyset} \right )\end{equation*}$$

Notice the structure of `ξ2(t1,t2,σ,t0)`, it now has two time-arguments and the remaining arguments are parameters. If we wanted to allow for two different widths of the single-photon states in the product state, we could have also defined: `ξ2(t1,t2,σ1,σ2,t0) = ξ(t1,σ1,t0)*ξ(t2,σ2,t0)`. In the following, we consider the more simple case of equivalent photons. We solve the two-photon scattering in the following.

Another important detail is the normalization. [`twophoton`](@ref) only creates $$\int_{t_0}^{t_{end}} d t^{\prime} \int_{t_0}^{t_{end}} d t \ \xi^{(2)}(t,t') w^\dagger(t) w^\dagger\left(t^{\prime}\right)|0\rangle $$ and we thus need the factor of $$1/\sqrt(2)$$ for the state to be normalized.

In the following, we consider the more simple case of equivalent photons. We solve the two-photon scattering in the following.

Release notes:

Waveguide states are no longer, by default, initialized as normalized states. This is to ensure compatibility with creating superpositions / beamsplitter operations. In relation to this, the twophoton initializer was adjusted to so that two photons in the same waveguide now require a prefactor of 1/sqrt(2) in order to be normalized. Documentation was also updated.
Precompilation updated to be faster.
See also: #46 for details on normalization.
