Abstract
Characterizing high-dimensional entangled states is of crucial importance in quantum information science and technology. Recent theoretical progress has been made to extend Hardy's paradox into a general scenario with multisetting and multidimensional systems, which enables the maximum probability of nonlocal events to surpass the bound that was limited in Hardy's original test. Hitherto, no experimental verification has been conducted to verify Hardy's paradox, as most of the previous experimental efforts were restricted to two-dimensional systems. Here, based on two-photon high-dimensional orbital angular momentum (OAM) entanglement, we report an experiment to demonstrate Hardy's paradox for multiple settings and multiple outcomes. We demonstrate the paradox for two-setting higher-dimensional OAM subspaces up to $d=7$, which reveals that the nonlocal events increase with dimension. Furthermore, we showcase the nonlocality with an experimentally recorded probability of 36.77% for a five-setting three-dimensional OAM subspace via entanglement concentration, thus showing a sharper contradiction between quantum mechanics and classical theory.
