We deterministically separate the two photons based on their orthogonal polarizations and demonstrate that both interference effects persist despite their distinguishability at the detectors.

Accurate solutions to such equations are important to understand the behavior of nonlinear waves, including formation of dark solitons. Traditional numerical methods contain discretization and linearization errors, which limits their accuracy and efficiency. To overcome such challenges, a novel hybrid semi-analytical method is proposed in this study, named as Sumudu-HPM, which combines the Sumudu transform with the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). The Sumudu transform simplifies tackling of initial conditions and converts governing equation into an algebraic form, while HPM generates a recursive approximation to the solution.
