We study the propagations of quantum resources encoded in orbital angular momenta of two photons via the turbulent maritime atmosphere. The decay characteristics of entanglement, discord and coherence are studied for the cases of increasing propagation distance, different azimuthal quantum numbers, inner scales of turbulence and wavelengths of light source. We find that the entanglement does not suffer sudden vanishing for the one-side turbulent channels case while entanglement disappears nonasymptotically for a general case of two-side different turbulent channels similar to the specific case of two-side identical turbulent channels. Entanglement, discord and coherence have quite different decay laws and coherence possesses more robustness against the turbulence than entanglement and discord. Our results show that larger azimuthal quantum numbers and larger wavelength of light source may boost the quality of distributions of quantum resources in turbulent maritime atmosphere.

A partial receiving scheme based on limited angular aperture multi-beam receiving and demultiplexing can solve the difficulty caused by the divergence of the vortex beam in the conventional whole beam receiving scheme and realize the long-distance transmission of the vortex wave. The propagation of the radio vortex beam in atmospheric turbulence is of significant importance in theoretical study and practical applications. In this paper, the influence of atmospheric turbulence on the performance of a radio vortex (RV) communication system based on a partial angular aperture receiving (PAAR) scheme under the horizontal non-Kolmogorov channel model is studied. The spiral spectrum of the PAAR scheme and the channel capacity of the RV communication system using the PAAR scheme are derived. Simulation results demonstrate that the selected transmission frequency range has a great influence on the RV communication system based on the PAAR scheme, and the choice of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode number L has an influence on the propagation distance. The capacity of RV communication systems based on the PAAR scheme increases with the increase of the transmission frequency in the selected transmission frequency range of 10 GHz–60 GHz. When the number of orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes L is small, we can improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to obtain a larger capacity of the RV communication system based on the PAAR scheme over a longer propagation distance.

AbstractOrbital-angular-momentum (OAM) multiplexing has been utilized to increase the channel capacity in both millimeter-wave and optical domains. Terahertz (THz) wireless communication is attracting increasing attention due to its broadband spectral resources. Thus, it might be valuable to explore the system performance of THz OAM links to further increase the channel capacity. In this paper, we study through simulations the fundamental system-degrading effects when using multiple OAM beams in THz communications links under atmospheric turbulence. We simulate and analyze the effects of divergence, turbulence, limited-size aperture, and misalignment on the signal power and crosstalk of THz OAM links. We find through simulations that the system-degrading effects are different in two scenarios with atmosphere turbulence: (a) when we consider the same strength of phasefront distortion, faster divergence (i.e., lower frequency; smaller beam waist) leads to higher power leakage from the transmitted mode to neighbouring modes; and (b) however, when we consider the same atmospheric turbulence, the divergence effect tends to affect the power leakage much less, and the power leakage increases as the frequency, beam waist, or OAM order increases. Simulation results show that: (i) the crosstalk to the neighbouring mode remains < − 15 dB for a 1-km link under calm weather, when we transmit OAM + 4 at 0.5 THz with a beam waist of 1 m; (ii) for the 3-OAM-multiplexed THz links, the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) increases by ~ 5–7 dB if the mode spacing increases by 1, and SIR decreases with the multiplexed mode number; and (iii) limited aperture size and misalignment lead to power leakage to other modes under calm weather, while it tends to be unobtrusive under bad weather.

We justify the physical meaning of the spin and orbital angular momentum of free partons in the infinite momentum frame, and discuss the relationship between the Jaffe-Manohar and Ji’s sum rules for proton spin. The parton orbital angular momentum in the Jaffe-Manohar sum rule can be measured through twist-three GPD’s in hard scattering processes such as deeply virtual Compton scattering. Furthermore, we propose that the paton orbital angular momentum as well as the gluon helicity can be calculated in lattice QCD through a large momentum effective theory approach, and provide all the one-loop matching conditions for the proton spin content in perturbative QCD.
