我们提出了旋转光束的量子理论，并研究了它的一些性质。这种光束是多色的，并且具有缓慢旋转的偏振或缓慢旋转的横模图案。我们表明，对于这两种情况，都有三种不同的自然类型的模式符合旋转的条件，其中一种是以前没有考虑过的类型。我们一方面从旋转坐标系的角度讨论了这三种旋转模与非旋转模的区别。我们提供了各种例子来说明旋转光子的可能用途，主要用于量子信息处理目的。在此背景下，我们介绍了双光子单重态的旋转版本。
We propose a quantum theory of rotating light beams and study some of its properties. Such beams are polychromatic and have either a slowly rotating polarization or a slowly rotating transverse mode pattern. We show that there are, for both cases, three different natural types of modes that qualify as rotating, one of which is a type not previously considered. We discuss differences between these three types of rotating modes on the one hand and nonrotating modes as viewed from a rotating frame of reference on the other. We present various examples illustrating the possible use of rotating photons, mostly for quantum information processing purposes. We introduce in this context a rotating version of the two-photon singlet state.
