This paper reviews the quasi-phase-matched (QPM) waveguide nonlinear-optic device technologies for generation of quantum-entangled twin photons indispensable for quantuminformation techniques. After a brief introduction to the concept of entanglement, quantum theory analysis of twin-photon generation (TPG) is outlined to clarify the properties of twin photons. Then, methods for entangled-photon generation are discussed. Practical design and theoretical performances of LiNbO3 waveguide QPM TPG devices, as well as the fabrication techniques, are described. Finally, experimental demonstrations of polarization-entangled twin-photon generation by waveguide Type-I and Type-II QPM TPG devices are presented.C h a n n e l W a v e g u i d e L i N b O 3 C r y s t a l D o m a i n -I n v e r t e d G r a t i n g f o r T y p e -I I Q P M P u m p W a v e O u t p u t C r o s s -P o l a r i z e d T w i n P h o t o n s w
