2.3. Correlations between signal and idler<br />
In any other case, correlations between signal and idler are unavoidable. To<br />
evaluate their strength, the next section deduces an analytical expression for<br />
the purity of the signal photon state.<br />
2.3.2 Spatio temporal state of signal photon<br />
A single photon state can be generated in spdc by ignoring any information<br />
about one of the generated photons. The single photon state is calculated by<br />
tracing out the other photon from the two-photon state. For example, after<br />
a partial trace over the idler photon, the reduced density matrix in space and<br />
frequency for the signal photon is<br />
ˆρsignal =T ridler[ρ]<br />
