Abstract :
We implement experimentally a method to generate photon-number-path and polarization entangled photon pairs using "beamlike" type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), in which the signal-idler photon pairs are emitted as two separate circular beams with small emission angles rather than as two diverging cones
