Questions tagged [spdc]
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.

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 - ...

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, ...
