Electron-based Quantum Research
Theory and experimental measurements of the pump and the signal photon. The pump has a star sin- gularity structure generated with the superposition of light beams carrying orbital angular momentum of 0 and 1 ̄h values, and opposite-handedness circular polarization. The signal photon is measured with a lemon singularity structure when the idler photon is projected along the diagonal polarization.
