Description

Zhenyu Guo and Yijie Shen reported that mapping the total angular momentum of light trapped in tiny photonic structures can create single-photon states with rich topological patterns, in a 2026 highlight. Such textured photon states open new routes to high-dimensional entanglement, where each photon carries more than a simple two-way choice. The authors present the near-field approach as a promising path toward quantum information processing that resists noise and error.
