The advanced-wave picture is ... an intuitive treatment of two-photon correlation with the help of the concept of an effective field acting upon one of the two detectors and formed by parametric conversion of the advanced wave emitted by the second detector ... [A. V. Belinskii and D. N. Klyshko, JETP 78, 259 (1994)]. This quote from Belinskii and Klyshko nicely describes the concept of the advanced-wave picture; an intuitive tool for designing and predicting results from coincidence-based two-photon experiments. Up to now, the advanced-wave picture has been considered primarily for the case of an ideal plane-wave pump beam and only for design purposes. Here we study the advanced wave picture for a structured pump beam and in the context of stimulated emission provoked by an auxiliary input laser beam. This suggests stimulated parametric down-conversion as a useful experimental tool for testing the experimental sets designed with the advanced-wave picture. We present experimental results demonstrating the strategy of designing the experiment with advanced-wave picture and testing with stimulated emission.

Most investigations of multipartite entanglement have been concerned with temporal modes of the electromagnetic field, and have neglected its spatial structure. We present a simple model which allows to generate tripartite entanglement between spatia
l modes by parametric down-conversion with two symmetrically-tilted plane waves serving as a pump. The characteristics of this entanglement are investigated. We also discuss the generalization of our scheme to 2N+1-partite entanglement using 2N symmetrically-tilted plane pump waves. Another interesting feature is the possibility of entanglement localization in just two spatial modes.
We demonstrate a new four-wave mixing (4WM) geometry based on structured light. By utilizing near-field diffraction through a narrow slit, the pump beam is asymmetrically structured to modify the phase matching condition, generating multi-mode output
in both the spatial and frequency domains. We show that the frequency parameter enables selection of various spatial-mode outputs, including a twin-beam geometry which preserves relative intensity squeezing shared between the two beams. The results suggest that the engineering of atomic states via structured light may provide a pathway to a diverse set of quantum resources based on multi-mode squeezed light.
We report the efficient generation of high-gain parametric down-conversion, including pump depletion, with pump powers as low as 100 $mu$W (energies $0.1$~$mu$J/pulse) and conversion efficiencies up to 33%. In our simple configuration, the pump beam
is tightly focused into a bulk periodically poled lithium niobate crystal placed in free space. We also observe a change in the photon number statistics for both the pump and down-converted beams as the pump power increases to reach the depleted pump regime. The experimental results are a clear signature of the interplay between the pump and the down-converted beams in highly efficient parametric down-conversion sources.
We investigate the effect of the cumulative phase on the photon statistics of the three-mode state whose evolution is described by the trilinear Hamiltonian $hat{H}_{I}=ihbarkappabig(hat{a}hat{b}hat{c}^{dagger}-hat{a}^{dagger}hat{b}^{dagger}cbig)$, w
herein the pump is taken to be quantized (and prepared in a coherent state) and the signal and idler modes are initially seeded with coherent states. We provide a brief review of the two-mode squeezed coherent states generated by non-degenerate coherently-stimulated parametric down-conversion, whereby the nonlinear crystal is driven by a strong classical field. The statistics of the resulting two mode state have been shown to depend greatly on the cumulative phase $Phi=theta_{s}+theta_{i}-2phi$ where $theta_{sleft(iright)}$ are the signal(idler) coherent state phases and $2phi$ is the classical pump phase. Using perturbation theory, we analytically show for short times how the photon statistics and entanglement properties of the resultant state depends strictly on this phase combination. We also present numerical results of the relevant quantities to show the evolution of the three modes and provide a qualitative analysis of the steady state valid for long times.
Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion (SPDC), also known as parametric fluorescence, parametric noise, parametric scattering and all various combinations of the abbreviation SPDC, is a non-linear optical process where a photon spontaneously splits i
nto two other photons of lower energies. One would think that this article is about particle physics and yet it is not, as this process can occur fairly easily on a day to day basis in an optics laboratory. Nowadays, SPDC is at the heart of many quantum optics experiments for applications in quantum cryptography, quantum simulation, quantum metrology but also for testing fundamentals laws of physics in quantum mechanics. In this article, we will focus on the physics of this process and highlight few important properties of SPDC. There will be two parts: a first theoretical one showing the particular quantum nature of SPDC and the second part, more experimental and in particular focusing on applications of parametric down-conversion. This is clearly a non-exhaustive article about parametric down-conversion as there is a tremendous literature on the subject, but it gives the necessary first elements needed for a novice student or researcher to work on SPDC sources of light.
