Figure 6. The figure depicts the Wigner distribution of decoherence that occurred in a biphoton state when the photons impinge with a slight change in position 𝛿 and the momentum variable 𝜇 of the photons before interacting with the external environment including the beam splitter with variable decoherence time (a) 𝜏 = 0 ps, (b) 𝜏 = 1.2 ps, (c) 𝜏 = 1.4 ps, and (a) 𝜏 = 1.6 ps. It is straightforward to see from the contours that the interference vanishes with the decoherence time
