TY - JOUR A1 - Ostermeyer, Martin A1 - Korn, Dietmar A1 - Puhlmann, Dirk A1 - Henkel, Carsten A1 - Eisert, Jens T1 - Two-dimensional characterization of spatially entangled photon pairs N2 - We characterize the entanglement in position and momentum of photon pairs generated in type-II parametric down- conversion. Coincidence maps of the photon positions in the near-field and far-field planes are observed in two transverse dimensions using scanning fiber probes. We estimate the covariance matrix of an effective two-mode system and apply criteria for entanglement based on covariance matrices to certify space-momentum entanglement. The role of higher- order spatial modes for observing spatial entanglement between the two photons is discussed.
