Generation of polarization entanglement from spatially-correlated photons in spontaneous parametric down-conversion
arXiv:0711.4177 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.77.032338
Abstract
We propose a novel scheme to generate polarization entanglement from spatially-correlated photon pairs. We experimentally realized a scheme by means of a spatial correlation effect in a spontaneous parametric down-conversion and a modified Michelson interferometer. The scheme we propose in this paper can be interpreted as a conversion process from spatial correlation to polarization entanglement.
