Orbital angular momentum modes of high-gain parametric down-conversion

Lina Beltran, Gaetano Frascella, Angela M. Perez +6

Light beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM) are convenient carriers of quantum information. They can be also used for imparting rotational motion to particles and provide high…

Experimental investigation of Popper's proposed ghost-diffraction experiment

Eliot Bolduc, Ebrahim Karimi, Kevin Piché +2

In an effort to challenge the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, Karl Popper proposed an experiment involving spatially separated entangled particles. In this experime…

Light shifts in atomic Bragg diffraction

Enno Giese, Alexander Friedrich, Sven Abend +2

Bragg diffraction of an atomic wave packet in a retroreflective geometry with two counterpropagating optical lattices exhibits a light shift induced phase. We show that the tempora…

High-Dimensional Intra-City Quantum Cryptography with Structured Photons

Alicia Sit, Frédéric Bouchard, Robert Fickler +11

Quantum key distribution (QKD) promises information-theoretically secure communication, and is already on the verge of commercialization. Thus far, different QKD protocols have bee…

Quantum field theory and classical optics: determining the fine structure constant

Gerd Leuchs, Margaret Hawton, Luis L. Sanchez-Soto

The properties of the vacuum are described by quantum physics including the response to external fields such as electromagnetic radiation. Of the two parameters that govern the det…

Realization of electron vortices with large orbital angular momentum using miniature holograms fabricated by electron beam lithography

E. Mafakheri, A. H. Tavabi, P. -H. Lu +9

Free electron beams that carry high values of orbital angular momentum (OAM) possess large magnetic moments along the propagation direction. This makes them an ideal probe for meas…
