Universal entanglement decay in atmospheric turbulence

Abstract

We consider the propagation of two photonic qubits, initially maximally entangled in their orbital angular momenta (OAM), across a turbulent atmosphere. By introducing the phase correlation length of an OAM beam, we show that the entanglement of OAM photons exhibits a universal exponential decay under turbulence.
