| Abstract: |
The article discusses an experimental demonstration of how entanglement of very high orbital angular momentum (OAM) in single photons with helical phase structures can improve the sensitivity of angular resolution in remote sensing. The authors note the importance to quantum information science and fundamental tests of quantum theory of quantized amounts of OAM and entanglement in single photons. Topics include the ability to create entanglement between two particles with an arbitrarily high difference in quantum number owing to the lack of a theoretical upper limit on how many quanta of OAM a single photon can carry, the authors experimental design, and technical limitations as the only restrictive factors toward higher numbers. |
