Quantum entanglement of complex photon polarization patterns in vector beams
Quantum entanglement of complex photon polarization patterns in vector beams
We report the efficient creation and detection of hybrid entanglement between one photon's polarization and another photon's complex transverse polarization pattern including various polarization singularities. The polarization measurement of the first photon triggers a polarization-sensitive imaging of its partner photon, the vector photon, using a single-photon-sensitive camera. Thereby, the vector …
