Description

Seonghu Jung and Do-Kyeong Ko demonstrated in 2026 a faster way to characterize quantum states carried by twisted light, where each photon's spiral pattern can encode far more than a single bit. The standard approach counts rare photon pairs one coincidence at a time, so measurements crawl, especially for high-dimensional states. Their alternative, stimulated emission tomography, shines a bright seed beam through the same process and reads the amplified result.

Rebuilding the state from these bright measurements gave a fidelity of about 91 percent against the expected state, with each projection taking a single second. The reconstructed state's purity measures matched theory well. The authors present the technique as an efficient replacement for slow tomography in quantum optics laboratories.
