Nonseparable states of light: from quantum to classical

Y Shen, C Rosales‐Guzmán - Laser & Photonics Reviews, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Controlling the various degrees‐of‐freedom (DoFs) of structured light at both quantum and
classical levels is of paramount importance in optics. It is a conventional paradigm to treat …
