In this work we turn our attention to the genuine quantum properties of PDC, and we demonstrate the hyperbolic geometry underlying the spatio-temporal structure of the PDC entanglement and its non-factorability with respect to space and time. As for the X-waves encountered in nonlinear optics, the X-shape of the bi-photon correlation is imposed by the phase-matching mechanism governing the PDC process, and following this analogy we coined the name of X-entanglement.

Abstract

In this work we turn our attention to the genuine quantum properties of PDC, and we demonstrate the hyperbolic geometry underlying the spatio-temporal structure of the PDC entanglement and its non-factorability with respect to space and time. As for the X-waves encountered in nonlinear optics, the X-shape of the bi-photon correlation is imposed by the phase-matching mechanism governing the PDC process, and following this analogy we coined the name of X-entanglement.
