Understanding Photon Entanglement: Generation, Measurement and Bell Tests

In short Entangled photons share one quantum state. Neither photon can be described on its own, and their polarization correlations are stronger than any classical model allows. Most labs make them by SPDC. A pump photon splits into a signal and idler pair inside a nonlinear crystal, under energy and momentum conservation. Coincidence counts reveal […]
