- Abstract: Orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light is a promising degree of freedom for
quantum communication and quantum computation. However, efficient methods to
transform and measure OAM modes are still not available readily. Here, we
propose a method for full quantum state tomography for arbitrary OAM states of
light. The key component in our scheme is the helicity sorter, a device that
can sort OAM modes of a light beam based on their Helicity. We present two
setups to implement the Helicity sorted, one requires $\mathcal{O}(N)$ number
of optical elements for $2^N$ OAM modes, and the other uses spatial light
modulators and is independent of the number of OAM modes. Ours is the first
method to provide the efficient and scalable full quantum state tomography of
the OAM modes and can be extremely important for quantum communication and
quantum computation.

This work employs a bright QD single-photon source to generate a complete set of quantum states for information processing with OAM photons.
We first study the hybrid intra-particle entanglement between the OAM and the polarization degree of freedom of a single-photon.
Then, we investigate the hybrid inter-particle entanglement, by exploiting a probabilistic two qudit OAM-based entangling gate.

Complex structure inherent in Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) states makes their detection and classification nontrivial.
Most of the current detection schemes are based on models of the OAM states built upon the use of Laguerre-Gauss modes.
We employ Hypergeometric-Gaussian modes as the basis states of a refined model that can be used -- in certain scenarios -- to better tailor OAM detection techniques.

We apply a recent tomography protocol to simplify the measurement and characterisation of OAM states.
Our scheme for OAM tomography in $d$ dimensions requires only a set of measurements on a mode qubit, i.e., a 2-dimensional system.
This replaces the current complexity of OAM measurements by the ability to perform generalized Pauli operators $X_d, Z_d$ on OAM states.

We then show that a single bosonic atom can mediate an effective Coulomb repulsion between two fermions, leading to the analog of molecular Hydrogen in two dimensions.
