We come up with an inverse design algorithm to optimize spontaneous parametric down conversion in metasurfaces. One of our optimized metasurfaces outperforms the thin film of the same material by more than 10 times in brightness while ensuring almost maximal polarization entanglement of the signal and idler photon states.
