Abstract
Entangled two-photon dynamics offer a rich manifestation of the interplay between geometry and information. Such states accumulate a geometric phase that is not equal to the sum of those of the associated single-photon states, the difference amounting to a Geometric Phase of Entanglement (GPE). A functional relationship is derived between the GPE and reduced state entropies, showing that geometric phase measured for one photon will exhibit a quantum correlation with that of the other photon. This is explored within the setting of Type-I, collinear spontaneous parametric down-conversion, where two-photon states can be represented as a sum of spatially-entangled Laguerre-Gaussian modes.
