Transfer of correlations from photons to electron excitations and currents induced in semiconductor quantum wells by non-classical twisted light.

In this paper the excitations of collective electronic modes and currents induced in nanostructured semiconductor systems by two-mode quantum light with non-zero orbital angular momenta are investigated. Transfer of photon correlations to the excitations and currents induced in the semiconductor system is demonstrated. Birth of correlated electrons arising in the conduction band of the nanostructure due to the interaction with correlated photons of quantum light is found. Azimuthal and radial spatial distributions of the entangled electrons are established. The obtained results make possible to register the correlated electrons experimentally and to implement quantum information and nanoelectronics circuits in nanosystems using the found azimuthal and radial electron entanglement.
