- Abstract: The quantum vortices formed as a result of barrier-suppression ionization of
a two-dimensional hydrogen atom by an ultrashort laser pulse are theoretically
investigated. Using an analytical expression for the wave function of a
photoelectron in the momentum representation, the probability flux density is
investigated. In this case, both the standard definition of a flux and an
alternative one are used. The latter, due to the sensitivity to the phase of
the wave function, makes it possible to identify quantum vortices in the
momentum space.

A new interpretation of quantum mechanics has been developed for the wave nature of a photon, where determinacy in quantum correlations becomes an inherent property without the violation of quantum mechanics.
Here, we experimentally demonstrate a direct proof of the wave natures of quantum correlation for the so-called coherence de Broglie waves (CBWs) using sub-Poisson distributed coherent photon pairs.
