X-entanglement of PDC photon pairs

Abstract

The X-wave picture is adopted to describe the spatio-temporal entanglement of PDC photons. Key elements of novelty are the non-factorability of the state and the extreme relative localization of photons in space and time.

X-entanglement of PDC photon pairs

We investigate the spatio-temporal structure of the biphoton entanglement in Parametric Down Conversion (PDC). In particular we study the biphoton amplitude at the output face of the nonlinear crystal (near-field) and we demonstrate its X-shaped geometry in the space-time dimensions, i.e. the non-factorability of the state with respect to spatial and temporal variables. Our analysis provides a precise and quantitative characterization of this structure in various regimes and types of phase matching of PDC. The key elements of novelty emerging from our analysis are the non-factorability of the state with respect to spatial and temporal variables, and the extreme relative localization of the entangled photons, both in space (few microns) and time (few femtoseconds). This extreme localization is connected to our ability to resolve the photon positions in the source near-field. The non factorability opens the possibility of tailoring the temporal entanglement by acting on the spatial degrees of freedom of twin photons.

X-entanglement of PDC photon pairs

In this work we turn our attention to the genuine quantum properties of PDC, and we demonstrate the hyperbolic geometry underlying the spatio-temporal structure of the PDC entanglement and its non-factorability with respect to space and time. As for the X-waves encountered in nonlinear optics, the X-shape of the bi-photon correlation is imposed by the phase-matching mechanism governing the PDC process, and following this analogy we coined the name of X-entanglement.

We investigate the spatio-temporal structure of the bi-photon entanglement in parametric down-conversion (PDC) and we demonstrate its non-factorable X-shaped geometry. Such a structure gives access to the ultra-broad bandwidth of PDC, and can be exploited to achieve a bi-photon temporal localization in the femtosecond range. This extreme localization is connected to our ability to resolve the photon positions in the source near-field. The non factorability opens the possibility of tailoring the temporal entanglement by acting on the spatial degrees of freedom of twin photons.

Spatio-temporal Properties of Entangled Photon Pairs

We propose a method to study the spatio-temporal properties of degenerate photon pairs emitted in SPDC, using temperature variation. The photons can be distinguished. We relate these to the measured Hong-Ou-Mandel dip of the photons.
