Key Points

To investigate the quantum optical scattering of two-photon wave packets by a macroscopic lossy sphere by mapping quantum interference onto classical electromagnetic Mie scattering.
Formulated macroscopic quantum electrodynamics using a modified Langevin noise formalism under the far-field approximation.
Mapped two-photon quantum scattering probability amplitudes directly to classical Mie scattering coefficients for noncollinear incident wave packets.
Analyzed scattering outcomes across symmetric and antisymmetric states using narrow-band photons interacting with high-index dielectric lossy spheres.
Identified that rotational and reflectional symmetries of the sphere produce geometries enforcing perfect constructive or Hong-Ou-Mandel destructive interference.
Demonstrated that classical Mie resonance peaks and Fano-like dips drive strong constructive and destructive quantum interference when carrier frequencies align with resonant modes.
Revealed that total two-, one-, and zero-photon scattering probabilities at resonance frequencies depend strongly on wave-packet spectral symmetry, enabling loss-assisted entanglement detection.
