Abstract
Physical Review A 92, 023827 (2015) We present a state transfer protocol that is mathematically equivalent to
quantum teleportation, but uses classical nonseparability instead of quantum
entanglement. In our implementation we take advantage of nonseparability among
three parties: orbital angular momentum (OAM), polarization, and the radial
degrees of freedom of a beam of light. We demonstrate the transfer of arbitrary
OAM states, in the subspace spanned by any two OAM states, to the polarization
of the same beam.
