Abstract
Entanglement is a quantum correlation that appears in composite systems and constitutes one of the main resources in quantum information.1 In optics, parametric down conversion (PDC) in a non-linear crystal is the standard technique to generate entangled photon pairs. However, the statistics of the photon number and time distributions follows, essentially, a Poissonian law that severely restricts the range of practical applications of entangled photon sources based on PDC, e.g., for some quantum cryptography protocols.2
