چکیده
The singular nature of a noninteger spiral phase plate allows easy manipulation of spatial degrees of freedom of photon states. Using two such devices, we have observed very high-dimensional spatial entanglement of twin photons generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion.

Electro-optic analyzer of angular momentum hyperentanglement
Characterizing a high-dimensional entanglement is fundamental in quantum information applications. Here, we propose a theoretical scheme to analyze and characterize the angular momentum hyperentanglement that two photons are entangled simultaneously in spin and orbital angular momentum. Based on the electro-optic sampling with a proposed hyper-entanglement analyzer and the simple matrix operati...
متن کاملEntanglement of Orbital Angular Momentum States of Photons
Entanglement contains one of the most interesting features of quantum mechanics, often named quantum non-locality[1, 2]. This means entangled states are not separable regardless of the spatial separation of their components. Measurement results on one particle of a two-particle entangled state define the state of the other particle instantaneously with neither particle enjoying its own well-def...
متن کاملSorting photons of different rotational Doppler shifts (RDS) by orbital angular momentum of single-photon with spin-orbit-RDS entanglement.
We demonstrate that single photons from a rotating q-plate exhibit an entanglement in three degrees of freedom of spin, orbital angular momentum, and the rotational Doppler shift (RDS) due to the nonconservation of total spin and orbital angular momenta. We find that the rotational Doppler shift deltaomega = Omega((delta)s + deltal) , where s, l and Omega are quantum numbers of spin, orbital an...
متن کاملConcentration of higher dimensional entanglement: qutrits of photon orbital angular momentum.
Enhancement of entanglement is necessary for most quantum communication protocols many of which are defined in Hilbert spaces larger than 2. In this work we present the experimental realization of entanglement concentration of orbital angular momentum entangled photons. We investigate the specific case of three dimensions and the possibility of generating different entangled states out of an in...
متن کاملAngular EPR paradox
The violation of local uncertainty relations is a valuable tool for detecting entanglement, especially in multi-dimensional systems. The orbital angular momentum of light provides such a multi-dimensional system. We study quantum correlations for the conjugate variables of orbital angular momentum and angular position. We determine an experimentally testable criterion for the demonstration of a...
