Quantum Information Transfer from Spin to Orbital Angular Momentum of Photons
Open accessAbstract
The optical "spin-orbit" coupling occurring in a suitably patterned nonuniform birefringent plate known as a "q plate" allows entangling the polarization of a single photon with its orbital angular momentum (OAM). This process, in turn, can be exploited for building a bidirectional "spin-OAM interface," capable of transposing the quantum information from the spin to the OAM degree of freedom of photons and vice versa. Here, we experimentally demonstrate this process by single-photon quantum tomographic analysis. Moreover, we show that two-photon quantum correlations such as those resulting from coalescence interference can be successfully transferred into the OAM degree of freedom.

Several experiments and numerical simulations demonstrated remarkable spin-controlled unidirectional coupling between circularly-polarized incident light and transversely-propagating surface or waveguide modes.
“Recently, several experiments and numerical simulations demonstrated remarkable spin-controlled unidirectional coupling between circularly-polarized incident light and transversely-propagating surface or waveguide modes 4 5 -5 2,125-1 28 , see Figs. 4b,c.”
From Spin–orbit interactions of light (2015) · cites this paper as [126]
The paper describes an experimentally demonstrated q-plate whose effect on a photon's orbital angular momentum depends on its circular polarization (p. 1). It does not report unidirectional coupling into transversely propagating surface or waveguide modes; its experiment concerns a bidirectional interface between polarization and orbital angular momentum (pp. 1, 3). (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn all systems studied, the incident light propagated along the transverse y-axis carrying usual SAM depending on its helicity: Sy inc ∝ σ.
“Indeed, in all systems 4 5 -5 2,125-1 28 the incident light propagated along the transverse y -axis carrying usual SAM depending on its helicity: S y inc ∝σ .”
From Spin–orbit interactions of light (2015) · cites this paper as [126]
The paper’s discussion of the q-plate (p. 1) links circular-polarization helicity to optical spin, supporting the helicity-dependent SAM part of the claim. Its experimental setup (p. 2) does not specify propagation along a transverse y-axis, and this study cannot establish the statement about “all systems studied.” (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe spin-controlled unidirectional coupling effect is very robust to the details of the system and equally appears with near 100%-efficiency at metal surfaces, nanofibers, and various waveguides.
“Moreover, the effect is very robust to the details of the system and equally appears with near 100%-efficiency at metal surfaces 46,47,49 , nanofibers 48,50,126 , and various waveguides 51,52,125,127,128 .”
From Spin–orbit interactions of light (2015) · cites this paper as [126]
The paper’s opening section (p. 1) describes a bidirectional spin–orbital-angular-momentum interface using a q-plate, not spin-controlled unidirectional coupling at surfaces, nanofibers, or waveguides. Its reported approximately 85% q-plate conversion efficiency (p. 1) measures a different process. Searches for unidirectional coupling and the named structures found no passage supporting the claimed robustness or near-100% efficiency. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
