  • Abstract
    In this paper, we focus on the use of orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of light in quantum information science. The OAM degree of freedom is a spatial degree of freedom and is as such intrinsically high dimensional. This offers the possibility of high-dimensional entanglement of two photons, in contrast to the more usual situation where one employs the polarization degree of freedom, which is 2D.
