Squeezed supermodes and cluster states based on modes with orbital angular momentum

Abstract

In this paper we discuss the possibility of building a linear cluster state based on modes with a certain orbital angular momentum (OAM). We show that in the system under consideration a field with a rich mode structure is generated in the cavity. We also analyze the conditions under which an infinite system of Heisenberg-Langevin equations describing the dynamics of intracavity fields can be shortened and solved analytically. To analyze the genuine number of quantum degrees of freedom, we use the supermodes technique. This approach allows us to build the most entangled cluster state.
