Abstract

The authors show that some properties of sunlight photons can be emulated quantum entangled photon pairs generated via the parametric down-conversion. The paper also uncovers that the entanglement time could serve as a control knob to resolve the photon arrival times, enabling investigations on real-time dynamics triggered by the emulated sunlight photons.
