A general theorem on the divergence of vortex beams
G. Vallone, G. Parisi, F. Spinello +3
The propagation and divergence properties of beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) play a crucial role in many applications. Here we present a general study on the divergen…
Storming Majorana's Tower with OAM states of light in a plasma
F. Tamburini, B. Thidé
We extend the relationship between mass and spin angular momentum, described by the bosonic spectrum of positive definite mass particles of the Majorana solution to the Dirac equat…
The detection of low-energy Quantum Gravity fluctuations with entangled states
Fabrizio Tamburini
We propose a thought experiment to detect low-energy Quantum Gravity phenomena using Quantum Optical Information Technologies. Gravitational field perturbations, such as gravitatio…
The Photon Wavefunction: a covariant formulation and equivalence with QED
Fabrizio Tamburini, Denise Vicino
We discuss the limits of the photon wavefunction (PWF) formalism, which is experiencing a revival in these days from the new practical applications in photonics and quantum optics.…
Experimental verification of the feasibility of a quantum channel between Space and Earth
Paolo Villoresi, Thomas Jennewein, Fabrizio Tamburini +8
Extending quantum communication to Space environments would enable to perform fundamental experiments on quantum physics as well as applications of quantum information at planetary…
Space-to-ground quantum-communication using an optical ground station: a feasibility study
P. Villoresi, F. Tamburini, M. Aspelmeyer +6
We have tested the experimental prerequisites for a Space-to-Ground quantum communication link between satellites and an optical ground station. The feasibility of our ideas is bei…
