Abstract: | We propose a novel setup to investigate the entanglement of orbital angular momentum states living in a high-dimensional Hilbert space. We incorporate noninteger spiral phase plates in spatial analyzers, enabling us to use only two detectors. The two-photon states that are produced are not confined to a 2 x 2-dimensional Hilbert space, and the setup allows the probing of correlations in a high-dimensional space. For the special case of half-integer spiral phase plates, we predict that the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt-Bell parameter S is larger than achievable for two qubits (S=2 sqrt2]), namely, S=31 / 5. |
