- Authors: Graciana Puentes, Giacomo Sorelli
- Abstract summary: We propose a method for generation of entangled photonic states in high dimensions, the so-called qudits.
Diffraction masks containing $N$ angular slits placed in the path of twin photons define a qudit space of dimension $N2$, spanned by alternative pathways of OAM-entangled photons.
We quantify the high-dimensional entanglement of path-entangled photons by the Concurrence, using an analytic expression valid for pure states.

- Abstract: We propose a method for generation of entangled photonic states in high
dimensions, the so-called qudits, by exploiting quantum correlations of Orbital
Angular Momentum (OAM) entangled photons, produced via Spontaneous Parametric
Down Conversion. Diffraction masks containing $N$ angular slits placed in the
path of twin photons define a qudit space of dimension $N^2$, spanned by the
alternative pathways of OAM-entangled photons. We quantify the high-dimensional
entanglement of path-entangled photons by the Concurrence, using an analytic
expression valid for pure states. We report numerical results for the
Concurrence as a function of the angular aperture size for the case of
high-dimensional OAM entanglement and for the case of high-dimensional path
entanglement, produced by $N \times M$ angular slits. Our results provide
additional means for preparation and characterization of entangled quantum
states in high-dimensions, a fundamental resource for quantum simulation and
quantum information protocols.

We develop a protocol for creating and manipulating highly-entangled superpositions of well-controlled states of light.
Our calculations indicate that a subset of such entangled superpositions are maximally-entangled, "volume-law" states.
We envision that this entangling mechanism could be utilized for realizing universal, entangling quantum gates with linear photonic elements alone.
