Abstract
Ultrashort optical pulses provide timing information for entangled photons generated by downconversion. This information destroys two-particle nonlocal quantum interference, but enables multiparticle interference. We demonstrate a general technique for restoring the nonlocal correlation of the photon pairs without compromising the source brightness.
