- Abstract: We describe the generation of correlated photon pairs by means of spontaneous parametric down-conversion of an optical pump in the form of a finite energy Airy beam. The optical system function, which contributes to the propagation of the down-converted beam before being registered by the detectors, is computed. The spectral function is utilized to calculate the biphoton amplitude for finding the coincidence count of the inbound Airy photons in both far-field and near-field configurations. We report the reconstruction of the finite energy Airy beam in the spatial correlation of the down-converted beams in near field scenario. In far field, the coincidence counts resembles the probability density of the biphoton in momentum space, revealing a direct mapping of the anti-correlation of the biphoton momentum. By examining the spatial Schmidt modes, we also demonstrate that longer crystals have tighter real-space correlations, but higher-dimensional angular correlations, whereas shorter crystals have fewer modes in momentum space and broader multimode correlations in position space.

Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations.
One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them.
Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.
