The New Building Blocks of Quantum Tech: Quantum Dots and Twisted Light

Posted by in categories: quantum physics, space

Generation of nearly deterministic OAM-based entangled states offers a bridge between photonic technologies for quantum advancements.

Quantum technology’s future rests on the exploitation of fascinating quantum mechanics concepts — such as high-dimensional quantum states. Think of these as states basic ingredients of quantum information science and quantum tech. To manipulate these states, scientists have turned to light, specifically a property called orbital angular momentum (OAM), which deals with how light twists and turns in space. Here’s a catch: making super bright single photons with OAM in a deterministic fashion has been a tough nut to crack.
