Abstract :
Simultaneous multidimensional entanglement can improve quantum communication protocols, measurements and fundamental studies. Using photons from parametric downconversion, we demonstrate a source of joint polarization and spatial-mode entanglement, and characterize the state by tomographic reconstruction.
