Abstract

We consider an array of closely spaced optical waveguides, which are twisted around a central axis along the propagation direction. We derive Schrodinger-type equation of the biphoton wavefunction, taking into account the waveguide bending through the appearance of additional phase in the coupling coefficients. We present an example of the evolution of quantum photon-pair state.
