Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the search for an English translation or summary of Birgit Dopfer's PhD thesis, which focuses on experiments related to two-photon interference. Participants explore the availability of such documents and related publications.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests a link to an English translation of Birgit Dopfer's PhD thesis.
  • Another participant questions the existence of an English translation, suggesting that understanding the availability of such a document could aid in the search.
  • The original requester later clarifies that they are looking for a synopsis or summary of the key experiments in the thesis instead of a full translation.
  • A related publication by Dopfer and others is mentioned, which discusses Brillouin scattering and dynamical diffraction of entangled photon pairs, potentially relevant to the thesis topic.
  • The original requester expresses gratitude after reviewing the abstract of the related publication and plans to find the full paper.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the existence of an English translation or summary of the thesis, and the discussion remains unresolved regarding the availability of such documents.

Can anyone direct me to an online English translation of Birgit Dopfer's Phd Thesis?

Dopfer, Birgit (1998). Zwei Experimente zur Interferenz von Zwei-Photonen Zusẗanden (PhD Thesis) (PDF). Univ. Innsbruck.

Thanks,

Note to Moderators:
I am posting a new question rather than adding it to existing threads, because the system says I have insufficient privileges to do that.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What makes you think such a document even exists? That might help track it down.
 
True. You have a point there. I should have said, is there a synopsis / summary /detailed discussion of the the key experiments reported in the thesis, so that one can get all the important concepts and information without having to read the German version.

It seems as if this is a publication related to the topic of the thesis:

Brillouin scattering and dynamical diffraction of entangled photon pairs
Birgit Dopfer, Paul G. Kwiat, Harald Weinfurter, Anton Zeilinger, and Michael A. Horne
Phys. Rev. A 52, R2531(R) – Published 1 October 1995
http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.52.R2531
 
Thank you, I had a look at the abstract and I will track down a copy of the full paper. Thanks.
