This thesis investigates the measurement of spatial correlations of photon pairs gener-ated through spontaneous parametric down-conversion with single-photon sensitive multi-pixel detectors. A custom designed and fabricated 8×1 fibre array detector for time to position multi-plexing was characterised. This detector was then commissioned in an experiment measuring the spatial correlations of photon pairs in position, momentum and in-termediate bases. The fibre array measured eight positions simultaneously with one Single-Photon Avalanche Diode, which led to an eight-fold increase in the data ac-quisition rate compared to traditional experiments, where a single SPAD was scanned across the detection plane. To capture all of the emitted light, an electron-multiplying CCD (EMCCD) camera was used. The spatial correlations were measured for the first time in momentum and pos
