Unravelling Two-Photon High-Dimensional Entanglement

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

We propose an interferometric method to investigate the non-locality of high-dimensional two-photon orbital angular momentum states generated by spontaneous parametric down conversion. We incorporate two half-integer spiral phase plates and a variable-reflectivity output beam splitter into a Mach-Zehnder interferometer to build an orbital angular momentum analyzer. This setup enables testing the non-locality of high-dimensional two-photon states by repeated use of the Clauser-Horne inequality.
