An experimental <physicist> who coauthored the <Hong-Ou-Mandel effect> experiment with <Z. Y. Ou> and <Leonard Mandel>. When indistinguishable <photons> arrive together at a balanced <beam splitter>, the coincidence probability is suppressed. Scanning their relative delay reveals the overlap of their wave packets and provides a precise timing probe.<Measurement of Subpicosecond Time Intervals between Two Photons by Interference by C. K. Hong and others>[Beam-splitter experiment and coincidence-delay measurement, pp. 2044–2046]{ref}
