Nonlocal optical vortices of any order in spontaneous parametric down-conversion
We theoretically demonstrate a method for generating and detecting nonlocal optical vortices of any order produced through spontaneous parametric down-conversion. These vortices arise in a nonlocal coordinate system consisting of a single coordinate from each photon. It is shown that independent vortices can be imposed on different sets of nonlocal coordinates.
