• Abstract: Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) modes are an important resource used in various branches of quantum science and technology due to their unique helical structure and countably infinite basis. Generating light that simultaneously carries high-order orbital angular momenta and exhibits quantum correlations is a challenging task. In this work, we present a theoretical approach to the generation of correlated Schmidt modes carrying OAM via parametric down-conversion (PDC) in cascaded nonlinear systems (nonlinear interferometers) pumped by Laguerre-Gaussian beams. We demonstrate how the number of generated modes and their population can be controlled by varying the pump parameters, the gain of the PDC process and the distance between the crystals. We investigate the angular displacement sensitivity of these interferometers and demonstrate that it can overcome the classical shot noise limit.

  This work explores the possibility of creating and controlling unconventional nonlinearities by periodic driving. By means of a parent quantum many-body description, we demonstrate that such driven systems are well captured by an effective NLSE. We analyze these intriguing properties both in the weakly-interacting (mean-field) regime, captured by the effective NLSE, and in the strongly-correlated quantum regime.

  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.

  Entanglement between atoms, generated by the exchange of virtual photons through a common cavity mode, grows exponentially fast. We propose to exploit this for quantum-enhanced sensing of an optical phase (common and differential between two ensembles) Our proposal can open unique opportunities for the observation of continuous variable entanglement in atomic systems and associated applications in next-generation optical atomic clocks.
