sketch of single photon SPDC

Does angular momentum conservation also hold on the single photon level?

That was the fundamental question we asked ourselves some time ago and now we have the answer? Yes, it does, which could be expected but was never shown before. In her PhD, Lea build a challenging cascaded down conversion setup to first generate as many heralded single photons as possible and second convert them into photon pairs to see if angular momentum is conserved.

If you want to know more about, please have a look at our press release here, and have a look at our paper, which is now publiched in Physical Review Letters.

Congrats to all co-authors and in particular to Lea for her great work!
