Quantumentanglement is, according to Erwin Schrödinger in 1935, the essence of quantumphysics. It inspires fundamental questions about the principles of nature. By testing the entanglement of particles,we are able to ask fundamental questions about realism and locality in nature. Local realismimposes certain constraints in statistical correlations ofmeasurements onmulti-particle systems. Quantummechanics, however, predicts that entangled systems havemuch stronger than classical correlations that are independent of the distance between the particles and are not explicablewith classical physics.

Two-photon anti-bunching at a beamsplitter is only possible if the photons are entangled in a specific state, anti-symmetric in the spatial modes. Thus, observation of anti-bunching is an indication of entanglement in a degree of freedom which might not be easily accessible in an experiment. We experimentally demonstrate this concept in the case of the interference of two frequency entangled photons with continuous frequency detunings. The principle of anti-symmetrisation of the spatial part of a wavefunction and subsequent detection of hidden entanglement via anti-bunching at a beamsplitter may facilitate the observation of entanglement in other systems, like atomic ensembles or Bose-Einstein condensates. The analogue for fermionic systems would be to observe bunching., Comment: Published version, 10 pages, 3 figures
