Here, we demonstrate such an on-chip parametric down - conversion source of photon pairs based on second-order nonlinearity in an aluminum-nitride microring resonator.

We show the potential of our source for quantum information processing by measuring the high visibility anti-bunching of heralded . Sources of polarization-entangled photon pairs. We prepare photon pairs via the nonlinear optical process of spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC). Occasionally an ultraviolet photon decays into two daughter photons, obeying the rules of . Symmetries reduce the number of numbers need to describe.

Kleinman symmetry: is far away from of the media. In this paper SPDC is studied for the case . Generation of time-bin entangled photon pairs requires the use of the Franson interferometer which consists of two spatially separated unbalanced Mach- Zehnder interferometers through which the signal and idler photons from spontaneous parametric down - conversion (SPDC) are made to transmit individually. In most configurations aimed at generating entangled photons based on spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC), the generated pairs of photons are required to be entangled in only one degree of freedom. Any distinguishing information coming from the other degrees of freedom that characterize the photon . We experimentally study the spatial properties of the field generated by spontaneous parametric down - conversion (SPDC) when the pump laser beam is strongly focused in the nonlinear crystal. We introduce the concept of a . Spectral characteristics of an integrated Type-I parametric down - conversion source.

In particular, the addressing of atomic . We report the observation of parametrically down -converted x-ray signal photons at photon energies that correspond to idler photons at optical wavelengths. The count-rate dependence on the angles of the input beam and of the detector and on the slit sizes agrees with theory within the experimental . Quasi-phase-matching (QPM) has enriched the capacity of parametric down - conversion (PDC) in generating biphotons for many fundamental tests and advanced applications. Abstract: Frequency conversion (FC) and type-II parametric down - conversion ( PDC) processes serve as basic building blocks for the implementation of quantum optical experiments: type-II PDC enables the efficient creation of quantum states such as photon-number states and . Here we demonstrate such an on-chip parametric down - conversion source of photon pairs based on second order nonlinearity in an Aluminum nitride microring resonator.

We demonstrate that this flexible platform allows for creating quantum states with different spatial . Here we consider two of the leading source technologies for nonclassical light, spontaneous parametric down - conversion and single semiconductor quantum dots. Down-conversion delivers high-grade entangled photon pairs, whereas quantum dots excel at producing single photons. Our method allows us to write an expression for the quantum state easily and directly, even when multiple photon pairs are generated in the process.

We theoretically investigate the properties and temporal evolution of squeezed states generated using degenerate parametric down conversion in lossy cavities. We show that the Lindblad master equation, which governs the evolution of this system, has, as its solution, a squeezed thermal state with an effective temperature .
