Fundamental tests on higher quantum dimensionality by exploiting the photonic orbital angular momentum

The orbital angular momentum carried by single photons represents a promising resource in the quantum information field. In this paper we report a series of optical schemes adopted for the manipulation of quantum states encoded in the orbital angular momentum exploiting the q-plate device. We further demonstrate the capability of generating hybrid entangled states as well as quantum states in dimension higher than two. Indeed we present the manipulation of ququart states encoded in the polarization and orbital angular momentum, which have been adopted for new quantum cryptographic protocols

Manipulation of single-photon states encoded in orbital angular momentum

Antonio Picón, Gabriel F. Calvo

We analyze possibilities to create/manipulate photon states encoded in spatial degrees of freedom. We show stringent limits for symplectic transforms acting on paraxial modes, and how to overcome these with novel classes of non-Gaussian operations.

Orbital-Angular-Momentum Quantum State Transformation Via a Nonlinear Process

Zhantong Qi, Yiwen Huang, Chuanyi Lu +4 more

Orbital-angular-momentum- (OAM) based photonic nonlinear interfaces, such as the nonlinear manipulation of a single-photon OAM state between the communication wavelength for entanglement distribution and the near-visible wavelength for quantum memories. Here, we experimentally demonstrate this kind of quantum state transformation for simultaneously adjusting the weight of the spatial OAM modes and operating the wavelength of single photons by effectively cascading the frequency conversion and electro-optical (EO) polarization coupling in a periodically poled lithium niobate crystal. The fidelity of the OAM state is measured to be higher than 95% before and after the frequency conversion. The results show that the OAM state of single photons can be modulated on demand by applying a transverse electric field across the nonlinear crystal. Our work demonstrates the integration and high performance of our proposed transformation interface, and paves a route toward connecting different remote nodes based on quantum memories in a large-scale OAM-encoded quantum network.
