The new method offers a straightforward approach to imprint the geometric phase from a classical laser beam and transfer it directly onto a pair of entangled photons.

The researchers used mathematical models based on the Dirac-Weyl equation to simulate how an electron in a graphene sheet would behave under external magnetic fields.
