Figure 1. Pump field α generates photon pairs in the signal (Inline graphic) and idler (Inline graphic) fields via parametric down-conversion (PDC).

Figure 1

Photon pairs are mixed on a beam splitter (BS) with transmissivity T: photons in a pair either stick together (bunch) to contribute to squeezing or remain in different beam-splitter ports (antibunch) to form entanglement.
