• Abstract: Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) is widely used in quantum applications based on photonic entanglement. The efficiency of photon pair generation is often characterized by means of a $sinc(L\Delta k/2)$-function, where $L$ is the length of the nonlinear medium and $\Delta k$ the phase mismatch between the pump and down-converted fields. In theoretical investigations, the \textit{sinc} behavior of the phase mismatch has often been approximated by a Gaussian function $\exp{(-\alpha x^2)}$ in order to derive analytical expressions for the SPDC process. Different values have been chosen in the literature for the optimization factor $\alpha$, for instance by comparing the widths of \textit{sinc} and Gaussian functions or the momentum of down-converted photons. As a consequence, different values for $\alpha$ provide different theoretical predictions for the same setup. Therefore, an informed and unique choice of this parameter is necessary. In this work, we present a choice of $\alpha$ which maximizes the validity of the Gaussian approximation. Moreover, we also discuss the so-called \textit{super}-Gaussian and \textit{cosine}-Gaussian approximations as practical alternatives with improved predictive power for experiments.

  We investigate the behavior of the derivatives of the iterates of Gradient Descent (SGD) We show that they are driven by an inexact SGD on a different objective function, perturbed by the convergence of the original SGD. Specifically, we demonstrate that with constant step-sizes, these derivatives stabilize within a noise ball centered at the solution derivative, and that with vanishing step-sizes they exhibit $O(log(k)2 / k)$ convergence rates.

  We propose a new class of filters based on Gaussian PSD Models, which offer several advantages in terms of density approximation and computational efficiency. We show that filtering can be efficiently performed in closed form when transitions and observations are Gaussian PSD Models. Our proposed estimator enjoys strong theoretical guarantees, with estimation error that depends on the quality of the approximation and is adaptive to the regularity of the transition probabilities.
