Abstract

We present an efficient protocol for polarization entanglement generation from spatially correlated photons in spontaneous parametric down-conversion. Compare with the protocol proposed by Shimuzu et al. (Phys. Rev. A77 032338), only one polarizing beam splitter is used in this protocol, which makes it simpler and more convenient in a practical application. By increasing the number of the slits, we provide a way for generation of a hyperentangled state in both the spatial and polarization degrees of freedom.
