Entanglement propagation of a quantum optical vortex state

arXiv:1406.6212 · doi:10.1016/j.optcom.2016.06.025

Abstract

We study the entanglement evolution of a quantum optical vortex state propagating through coupled lossless waveguides. We consider states generated by coupling two squeezed modes using a sequence of beam splitters and also by subtracting photons from the signal in spontaneous parametric down conversion. We reconstruct the Wigner function at a later time to study the correlation and quantify the entanglement after propagation using \emph{logarithmic negativity}.
