The law of conservation
of angular momentum states that in an isolated system that has no external torques, which the universe would be (according to the theory), the angular momentum would not change.

Each time the
state of polarization changes, photons exchange
angular momentum with the device thereby inducing an optical torque.
He set up his experiment to measure spin
angular momentum of photons in high vacuum, with measurements based on the rotation
of a two - inch diameter wave plate — a device that can alter the polarization
state of light passing through it.
In a type
of polarization
state called circular polarization, the electric field
of light rotates in a circle because
of which the photons have spin
angular momentum.
Today, this behaviour is very well understood at the microscopic level: magnetism goes back to the
angular momentum — the spin —
of the electrons in the outer shell
of the atoms that build up a solid
state crystal.
These pairs
of closely spaced energy
states had the same amounts
of angular momentum and corresponded to seemingly identical nucleifacts that the physicists took as evidence
of handedness.
A fundamental characteristic
of those quantum properties — which include polarization and orbital
angular momentum — is that they can exist in multiple
states at the same time.
In this latest work, the team performed the first experimental demonstration
of entanglement swapping and teleportation for orbital
angular momentum (OAM)
states of light.
The conservation
of angular momentum is a law
of physics that
states the total
angular momentum of a rotating object with no outside force remains constant regardless
of changes within the system.
The density will continue to increase without limit, as the gravitational force increases due to the inverse square law
of gravity, and the rotation will speed up, to conserve the
angular momentum of the initial
state, as the size decreases, so the moment
of inertia continues to decline, and
angular velocity increases to keep I. omega ^ 2 constant.
