| Popis: | We develop the formal approach to the angular spectrum transfer in parametric down-conversion that allows pumping with a structured beam. The scheme is based on an entangled photon source pumped by a laser beam structured with a vector-vortex polarization profile. This creates a two-photon quantum state exhibiting polarization-dependent transverse correlations that can be accessed through coincidence measurements on the spatially separated photons. The calculated correlations are shown to present a spin-orbit profile typical of vector beams, however, distributed on separate measurement regions. Our approach allows the design of the pump beam vector spatial structure and measurement strategies for potential applications of these entangled states, such as in quantum communication.
