Abstract
This manuscript presents a method to convert position correlation of photon-pairs into polarization entanglement. This is achieved by individually manipulating the polarization state of photons generated in different parts of a non-linear medium and putting them in coherent superposition. This concept is experimentally demonstrated using photon-pairs produced by spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC). The method was used to implement a compact source producing an observed photon-pair rate of 120,000/s/mW with an entanglement fidelity of 0.99. This method can be extended to any photon-pair generation process with initial position correlation.
