Abstract
In the late 80's, Ou and Mandel experimentally observed signal beatings by performing a non-time resolved coincidence detection of two photons having interfered in a balanced beam splitter [Phys. Rev. Lett 61, 54 (1988)]. In this work, we provide a new interpretation of the fringe pattern observed in this experiment as the direct measurement of the chronocyclic Wigner distribution of a frequency Schrödinger cat-like state produced by local spectral filtering. Based on this analysis, we also study time-resolved HOM experiment to measure such frequency state.
