Polarisation properties of single-mode biphotons

The paper reviews recent research by the authors on the polarisation properties of correlated photon pairs, also called biphotons, generated via spontaneous parametric down-conversion in the collinear frequency-degenerate regime. From the viewpoint of their polarisation properties, they represent qu...

Description
Summary:The paper reviews recent research by the authors on the polarisation properties of correlated photon pairs, also called biphotons, generated via spontaneous parametric down-conversion in the collinear frequency-degenerate regime. From the viewpoint of their polarisation properties, they represent qutrits, i.e., three-dimensional quantum systems, and are quite promising for quantum information applications.
