Electro-optic analyzer of angular momentum hyperentanglement
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 operation using Cramer rule, our simulations show that it is possible to retrieve effectively both the information about the degree of polarization entanglement and the spiral spectrum of high-dimensional orbital angular momentum entanglement.

Experimental generation of continuous-variable hyperentanglement in an optical parametric oscillator.
We report on the generation of continuous-variable hyperentanglement of polarization and orbital angular momentum with a type II optical parametric oscillator. By compensating for the astigmatism between spatial modes, we produce an entangled pair of Hermite-Gauss beams. From correlations measurements, we verify the existence of continuous-variable hyperentanglement by the general entanglement ...
متن کاملElectrically controlled transfer of spin angular momentum of light in an optically active medium.
Spin is an intrinsic property of the photon. A method for using an externally applied dc electric field to manipulate the transfer of spin angular momentum of light in an optically active medium is presented. To discuss this, we first develop a wave coupling theory of the mutual action of natural optical activity and the linear electro-optic effect. Besides being used for analyzing the electric...
متن کاملControl of spin angular momentum in quasi-phase-matched material.
A method to control spin angular momentum (SAM), based on mutual effects of a electro-optic effect and a quasi-phase-matched (QPM) technique in QPM material, is proposed. By controlling the external electric field or operating wavelength, the transfer between left- and right-handed circularly polarized photons is achieved, thus the total SAM is manipulated. The external electric field needed in...
متن کاملPolarization singularities and orbital angular momentum sidebands from rotational symmetry broken by the Pockels effect
The law of angular momentum conservation is naturally linked to the rotational symmetry of the involved system. Here we demonstrate theoretically how to break the rotational symmetry of a uniaxial crystal via the electro-optic Pockels effect. By numerical method based on asymptotic expansion, we discover the 3D structure of polarization singularities in terms of C lines and L surfaces embedded ...
