摘要：
Spatial quantum correlations are an important resource for quantum imaging and future quantum technologies based on high-dimensional entanglement. We experimentally explore spatial correlations in four-photon states generated by a highly efficient parametric down-conversion process in a 2 mm long periodically poled KTP crystal. The four-photon states produced in the crystal contain a contribution due to independent double pairs produced via spontaneous pair emission and a highly correlated four-photon state produced by stimulated emission of a second photon pair. We separate this contribution and introduce a joint spatial density for stimulated pair emission. We observe a maximum visibility chi = 0.25 of the four-photon state for a 1.5 nm bandpass filter.
