New Methods of Entanglement with Spatial Modes of Light

Abstract

The goal of this project is to produce entangled states of polarization and spatial mode. On the theoretical side, it involved the development of the mathematical formalism for a deep understanding of the modes that combine light s polarization with spatial mode. On the experimental side, this entailed the development, implementation and testing of laboratory techniques. The results include the development of new laboratory techniques to produce entanglement of polarization and spatial mode, the development of a new set of tailored optical beams, called Poincar beams, and new measurements of single photons entangled in polarization and spatial mode.
