Photon Pair Generation

Photon Pair Generation is a quantum optical process in which a nonlinear medium converts a single pump photon into two correlated photons through spontaneous parametric down-conversion or four-wave mixing, distinguished by energy and momentum conservation and inherent quantum entanglement between the generated photon pairs.
