Preparing arbitrary pure states of spatial qudits with a single phase-only spatial light modulator

Spatial qudits are D-dimensional (D . 2) quantum systems carrying information encoded in the discretized transverse momentum and position of single photons. We present a proof-of-principle demonstration of a method for preparing arbitrary pure states of such systems by using a single phase-only spat...
