Entanglement and conservation of orbital angular momentum in spontaneous parametric down-conversion

Entanglement and conservation of orbital angular momentum in spontaneous parametric down-conversion

We show that the transfer of the plane-wave spectrum of the pump beam to the fourth-order transverse spatial correlation function of the two-photon field generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion leads to the conservation and entanglement of orbital angular momentum of light. By means of a simple experimental setup based on …
