First proof of bipartite BOUND entanglement with two twisted photons

22.06.2017

In a Leiden-Vienna collaboration the first experiment was designed to prove bipartite bound entanglement [1].

 

 

This was possible because of a couple of pre-works in our group such as a simple entanglement witness based on mutually unbiased bases [2] and the magic simplex [3].
