Transition from quantum-to-classical random walk distributions with spin–orbit modes V. S. Lamego, G. T. C. Cruz, D. R. A. B. Lima, S. M. Al-Kuwari, J. A. O. Huguenin Optics Letters, 2024 Quantum walks (QW) offer a speed-up advantage over random walks in quantum search applications. We present an experimental study of the transition from quantum-to-classical random walk using an emulation of the decoherence process for polarization qubits that exploits maximally non-separable spin–orbit modes of an intense laser beam for the first, to the best of our knowledge, time. We are able to continuously control the input polarization mode in an all-optical quantum walk circuit to observe transitions associated with quantum, quantum stochastic, and classical random walk distributions. The results are in agreement with theoretical expectations.
Proposal to correct aberration and turbulence effects in the propagation of Laguerre-Gaussian modes P. H. Grosman, J. A. O. Huguenin Journal of the Optical Society of America A Optics and Image Science and Vision, 2024 Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes are known as carriers of orbital angular momentum (OAM) and, for this reason, such modes have potential applications in optical communications. In this work, we present a study of the effects of aberration and turbulence on LG modes and propose a correction for these effects using a spatial light modulator. The aberrations are introduced by a phase mask obtained through a combination of Zernike polynomials. A scaling factor in the corrective phase mask enables us to optimize the recovery of the transverse structure of the LG beam, opening, to our knowledge, a new investigative avenue on aberration and turbulence mitigation. Numerical simulations and experiments are presented with good agreement.
