Summary

Radial Schmidt mode detector of entangled photons Until now, accessing the full potential of entangled photons has been limited by the difficulty of measuring their complex radial structure. Measurements have progressed from four detectable modes with poor efficiency to a new system capable of resolving 50 radial Schmidt modes with approximately 98% fidelity. This advance directly addresses a longstanding challenge, opening new avenues for manipulating and utilising high-dimensional quantum e...
