Coherent states of the Laguerre-Gauss modes
arXiv:2310.08510 · doi:10.1364/OL.511439
Abstract
Large quantum photonic systems hold promise for surpassing classical computational limits, yet their state preparation remains a challenge. We propose an alternative approach to study multiparticle dynamics by mapping the excitation mode of these systems to physical properties of the Laguerre-Gauss modes. We construct coherent states establishing a direct link between excitation number dynamics and the evolution of the Laguerre-Gauss mode. This highlights the photon transverse spatial degree of freedom as a versatile platform for testing fundamental aspects of quantum multiparticle systems.
