Abstract
Majorana-like photons are introduced in this paper, which are attributed to the polarization and wavefront of special function class of optical vector vortex beams. A Majorana photon is a photon that is identical to its anti-photon. It has within itself both chirality, right and left-handed twist in polarization and wavefront. A theory is presented which reveals that certain types of cylindrical vector vortex photons that are spin–orbit coupled beams – radial, and azimuthal Laguerre-Gaussian, hybrid π-vector beams, and Airy beams – are Majorana-like based on their SAM (polarization) and OAM (wavefront) modes Majorana-like vector photons may play an important role in free-space fiber communication, propagation, quantum computing, optical computing, and imaging in turbid and bio-media as non-separable entangled polarized photons— a quantum mechanical entity.
