Generation and Detection of Continuous Variable Quantum Vortex States via Compact Photonic Devices

A quantum photonic circuit with the ability to produce continuous variable quantum vortex states is proposed. This device produces two single-mode squeezed states which go through a Mach-Zehnder interferometer where photons are subtracted by means of weakly coupled directional couplers towards ancil...
