Abstract:Uncertainty relations are core to both classical and quantum physics, and lend themselves to tests across many degrees of freedom, with structured light emerging as a vibrant tool to harness these degrees of freedom. Here, we test Popper’s conjecture by replacing the traditional spatial and momentum states with angular position and orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of photons, showing that the OAM spectrum for an entangled photon passing through a virtual slit differs from that of a photon passing through … Show more
