ABSTRACT
We consider the non-horizontal distributions of orbital angular momentum biphotons through free-space atmospheric channels, in which case the non-Kolmogorov turbulent effects shall be considered. By considering the case of initial non-perfect resource, i.e., the orbital angular momentum biphotons are initially prepared in an extended Werner-like state, we investigate the non-Kolmogorov effects on the propagations of nonclassical correlations, including quantum entanglement and quantum discord. It is found that universal decay laws of entanglement and discord also exist for non-Kolmogorov turbulence but with their decay curves different from that of entanglement for Kolmogorov turbulence reported by Leonhard et al. [Phys. Rev. A91, 012345 (2015)PLRAAN1050-294710.1103/PhysRevA.91.012345]. We show that the universal decay laws are dependent on the power-law exponent of the non-Kolmogorov spectrum and compare the differences of decay properties between entanglement and discord caused by non-Kolmogorov turbulence.
