- Abstract summary: We focus on the generation of high-gain nonclassical light within integrated optical devices.
We present a unified formulation that allows for a comparison of stimulated and spontaneous experiments in ring resonators and nanophotonic waveguides.
This leads directly to the calculation of the quantum states of light generated in high-gain experiments.

- Abstract: Integrated optical devices will play a central role in the future development
of nonlinear quantum photonics. Here we focus on the generation of high-gain
nonclassical light within them. Starting from the solid foundation provided by
Maxwell's equations, we then move to applications by presenting a unified
formulation that allows for a comparison of stimulated and spontaneous
experiments in ring resonators and nanophotonic waveguides, and leads directly
to the calculation of the quantum states of light generated in high-gain
experiments.

illumination [0.0]
Entangled photons produced by spontaneous parametric down-conversion have been of paramount importance for our current understanding of quantum mechanics and advances in quantum information.
We show that when a novel class of partially coherent Gaussian pump beams is considered, a distinct type of quantum state can be generated for which the amount of entanglement increases inversely with the degree of coherence of the pump beam.
This leads to highly incoherent yet highly entangled multi-photon states, which should have interesting consequences for photonic quantum information science.
