The cover illustrates spectral two‐photon Hong‐Ou‐Mandel interference between independent photon sources, as demonstrated in article number 2000464 by Anahita Khodadad Kashi and Michael Kues, central to realizing future large‐scale quantum networks. Pairs of pure photons of different colors superimpose at an electro‐optic frequency mixer (depicted by the bright white element) and coalesce in either of the two initial frequency modes.
