We observe entanglement between photons in controlled super-position states of orbital angular momentum (OAM). By drawing a direct analogy between OAM and polarization states of light, we demonstrate the entangled nature of high order OAM states generated by spontaneous downconversion through violation of a suitable Clauser Horne Shimony Holt (CHSH)-Bell inequality. We demonstrate this violation in a number of two-dimensional subspaces of the higher dimensional OAM Hilbert space.
我们观察到处于轨道角动量(OAM)受控叠加态的光子之间的纠缠。通过将OAM与光的偏振态进行直接类比,我们通过违反合适的克劳泽 - 霍恩 - 希莫尼 - 霍尔特(CHSH) - 贝尔不等式,证明了自发参量下转换产生的高阶OAM态的纠缠特性。我们在高维OAM希尔伯特空间的多个二维子空间中证明了这种违反情况。
