Non-classical photonic spin texture of quantum structured light

Twisted light beams allow unique control of light-matter interaction, but classical models cannot describe this phenomenon at the single-photon level. Here, the quantum state of structured photons is derived instead from quantum field theory which captures the quantum uncertainty in its angular mome...
