Entanglement of a quantum optical elliptic vortex 1, 2* 1 1† Abir Bandyopadhyay , Shashi Prabhakar , Ravindra Pratap Singh 1Quantum Optics Quantum Information Group, Theoretical Physics Division, Physical Research Laboratory, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad – 380009, India 2Hooghly Engineering and Technology College, Hooghly 712103, India Abstract We calculate the entanglement of a generalized elliptical vortex formed by quantized radiation field, using Wigner quasiprobability distribution function for such states. We find a critical squeezing parameter above which the entanglement is less for higher vorticity, which is counter intuitive. Keywords: Entanglement, Quantum optical elliptic vortex.

Introduction Entanglement is fundamental in determining the usefulness of a quantum state in quantum information protocols. Entangled states play a central role in quantum key distribution, superdense coding, quantum teleportation, and quantum error correction [1], which cannot be realized classically. While a major part of the effort in quantum information theory has been in the context of systems with finite number of Hilbert space dimensions, more specifically the qubits, recently there has been much interest in the canonical continuous cases [2]. However, Gaussian states, which are part of continuous variable case, are much better studied and methods have been devised to
