• Abstract: The full Schmidt decomposition of spatiotemporally entangled states generated from spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) has not been carried out until now due to the immense computational complexity arising from the large dimensionalities of the states. In this Letter, we utilize the rotational symmetry of the states to reduce the complexity by at least four orders of magnitude and carry out the decomposition to reveal the precise forms of the spatiotemporal Schmidt modes and the Schmidt spectrum spanning over 10^4 modes. We show that the Schmidt modes have a phase profile with a transverse spatial vortex structure that endows them with orbital angular momentum at all frequencies. In the high-gain regime, these Schmidt modes broaden and the Schmidt spectrum narrows with increasing pump strength. Our work can spur novel applications at the intersection of quantum imaging and spectroscopy that utilize entangled states produced from SPDC.

We show that the MPS encoding the Schmidt coefficients is weakly entangled even when the entanglement entropy of the state is strong. This justifies the efficiency of using MPS to encode the Schmidt coefficients, and promises an exponential speedup on the full-state sampling tasks.
