摘要：

We demonstrate the effective removal of intrinsic distinguishability between entangled-photon pairs in femtosecond spontaneous parametric down-conversion. High-visibility quantum interference is recovered (an increase to 96% from 17%) while preserving the high photon-flux density associated with the use of longs nonlinear crystals. This new technique is expected to serve as a basic component in the preparation of multiphoton entangled states.
