Orbital angular momentum has the potential to transfer, manipulate and store information. They are made from the orbital angular momentum of electrons orbiting their atomic nucleus – and the study of ...

We ask the question of how angular momentum is conserved in electroweak interaction processes. To introduce the problem with a minimum of mathematics, we first raise the same issue in elastic ...

Spin angular momentum-encoded single-photon emitters in a chiral nanoparticle-coupled WSe2 monolayer. Journal: Science Advances Published: 2024-05-24 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adn7210 Affiliations: 5 ...

Rotating objects carry angular momentum; this fact extends even to the tiniest of particles, such as photons. Photons possess not one but two distinct forms of angular momentum: spin angular momentum ...

1 Introduction Angular momentum is a generator of rotation for a quantum mechanical state, such that spin angular momentum and orbital angular momentum are manipulated upon the application of angular ...

When the spin and angular momentum interlock, it forms a high-dimensional qudit -- enabling any of a theoretically infinite range of values to be encoded into and propagated by a single photon.

When the spin and angular momentum interlock, it forms a high-dimensional qudit -- enabling any of a theoretically infinite range of values to be encoded into and propagated by a single photon. Qubits ...

where ℓ, in units of the reduced Planck constant, is the amount of orbital angular momentum per photon transferred to the impinging beam, (r, θ) are polar coordinates on the plane of the optical ...

Water waves can be used to visualize fundamental concepts, such as spin angular momentum, that arise in relativistic field theory, physicists have shown. This will help to provide new insights into ...
