单光子自旋轨道四维态的普适幺正门

Universal unitary gate for single-photon spinorbit four-dimensional states

Sergei Slussarenko, Ebrahim Karimi, Bruno Piccirillo, Lorenzo Marrucci, Enrico Santamato

摘要:

最近证明的可能性纠缠相反的值的轨道角动量(OAM)的光子与它的自旋,使实现非平凡的单光子自旋轨道四维态的量子信息的目的。然而,迄今为止,还没有提出能够对这样的自旋轨道光子态执行任意么正变换的光学器件。在这项工作中,我们将展示如何实现这样一个“通用单一门”的设备,仅基于现有的光学技术,并描述其操作。除了量子信息领域之外,所提出的器件可以在需要有效和方便地操纵组合的OAM和光的自旋的任何地方找到应用。

英文摘要:

The recently demonstrated possibility of entangling opposite values of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of a photon with its spin enables the realization of nontrivial one-photon spinorbit four-dimensional states for quantum information purposes. Hitherto, however, an optical device able to perform arbitrary unitary transformations on such spinorbit photon states has not been proposed yet. In this work we show how to realize such a ``universal unitary gate'' device, based only on existing optical technology, and describe its operation. Besides the quantum information field, the proposed device may find applications wherever an efficient and convenient manipulation of the combined OAM and spin of light is required.
