摘要

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) entanglement states have great potential in enhancing the information capacity in quantum communications. To make full use of the OAM degree of freedom, the measurement and distinction of OAM Bell states become a key step that needs to be accomplished. However, there is still no solution to achieve complete distinction of OAM Bell states at the single-photon level. Here we demonstrate the complete OAM Bell-state measurement without auxiliary photons by using linear optics. Furthermore, we propose a quantum communication network via OAM Bell-state multiplexing, perform a proof-of-principle experiment in the first- A nd second-order OAM subspaces for two users, and achieve average success probabilities of obtaining information of 91.6% for User-I and 89.1% for User-II. In principle, our scheme allows more users to be added by using high-order OAM Bell states. Our research extends the manipulation method for high-dimensional quantum states and paves the way for the application of OAM multiplexing in quantum communications.
