Angular Schmidt modes in spontaneous parametric down-conversion [PDF]
We report a proof-of-principle experiment demonstrating that appropriately chosen set of Hermite-Gaussian modes constitutes a Schmidt decomposition for transverse momentum states of biphotons generated in the process of spontaneous parametric down conversion.

Time ordering in spontaneous parametric down-conversion [PDF]
We consider the multi‐mode parametric down‐conversion Hamiltonian that governs the evolution of the fields inside a nonlinear crystal. If the Hamiltonian does not commute with itself at all times—as is the case for the multimode down‐conversion Hamiltonian—then the expansion of the evolution operator must take the form of the time‐ordered Dyson series,

Nonseparable Werner states in spontaneous parametric down-conversion [PDF]
The multiphoton states generated by high-gain spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in presence of large losses are investigated theoretically and experimentally. The explicit form for the two-photon output state has been found to exhibit a Werner structure very resilient to losses for any value of the gain parameter, g. The theoretical results

Advances in nonlinear metasurfaces for imaging, quantum, and sensing applications
Metasurfaces, composed of artificial meta-atoms of subwavelength size, can support strong light–matter interaction based on multipolar resonances and plasmonics, hence offering the great capability of empowering nonlinear generation.

Enhancement of spontaneous parametric down-conversion in nonlinear metasurfaces
Paper FW4H.1We experimentally demonstrate biphoton generation by spontaneous parametric down-conversion in resonant metasurfaces. In our metasurfaces, Mie-type resonances enable over 7 times more efficient biphoton generation compared to an unstructured ...

Generation of Entangled Photons by A Short Coherence Length Violet Diode Laser
Pumping a BBO crystal by a violet diode laser with a wavelength of (405 nm) output power of (24 mW) and a line width of (3nm) was employed to generate entangled photons with a wavelength of 810 nm by achieving type II phase matching conditions.

Spontaneous parametric down conversion in a nanophotonic waveguide
Recently, we verified that spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) is enhanced in a waveguide, in agreement with theory showing an inverse dependence on mode confinement [1]. Here we investigate highly-confined nanophotonic waveguides designed to maximize the SPDC rate.

Towards spontaneous parametric down-conversion at low temperatures
The possibility of observing spontaneous parametric down-conversion in doped nonlinear crystals at low temperatures, which would be useful for combining heralded single-photon sources and quantum memories, is studied theoretically.
