Type-II parametric down conversion in the Wigner-function formalism. Entanglement and Bell's inequalities

Quantum Physics 2025-02-18 v1

Abstract

We continue the analysis of our previous articles which were devoted to type-I parametric down conversion, the extension to type-II being straightforward. We show that entanglement, in the Wigner representation, is just a correlation that involves both signal and vacuum fluctuations. An analysis of the detection process opens the way to a complete description of parametric down conversion in terms of pure Maxwell electromagnetic waves.
