For questions related to spontaneous parametric down conversion. SPDC, parametric fluorescence or parametric scattering is a nonlinear instant optical process that converts one photon of higher energy (namely, a pump photon), into a pair of photons (namely, a signal photon, and an idler photon) of lower energy, in accordance with the law of conservation of energy and law of conservation of momentum.

State produced by spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC)
I'm researching SPDC's efficacy for use in an optical quantum computing model and I've been trying to figure out exactly what state the photons are in when they come out (as represented by a vector, for example), if I'm using type 1 SPDC and I'm…

Improving probability of spontaneous parametric down conversion
As mentioned in an earlier question of mine, I am interested in using type one spontaneous down conversion (SPDC) in optical quantum computing. However, SPDC is a somewhat low probability occurrence - most of the photons pass straight through the…

Q. Simulation of Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion (SPDC)
I am trying to simulate Type I and Type II Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion (SPDC) based on "Chapter 9 Optical test of quantum mechanics" of the book Introductory Quantum Optics. The result for Type I is true, but for Type II, I got four terms…
