提出了制备轨道角动量多维矢量态光子的方案。我们展示了可实现的光分布，产生规定的状态与有限或无限的正常模式。在微粒，我们表明，适当的光涡煎饼允许添加-下降的特定矢量投影。我们认为，这样的光子可能允许在多维量子信息系统中产生工程量子。
We put forward schemes to prepare photons in multidimensional vector states of orbital angular momentum. We show realizable light distributions that yield prescribed states with finite or infinite normal modes. In particulate we show that suitable light vortex pancakes allow the add-drop of specific vector projections. We suggest that such photons might allow the generation of engineered quNits in multidimensional quantum information systems.
