= Photon antibunching
{wiki=Photon_antibunching}
Photon antibunching is a quantum optical phenomenon that occurs when photons emitted from a source are detected in such a way that they exhibit a reduced probability of being detected in pairs (or bunches) compared to what would be expected from classical light sources. This effect is a key signature of non-classical light and is often observed in light emitted by single quantum emitters, such as single atoms, quantum dots, or single molecules.
