Abstract.
Two-flavor atom laser in a vortex state is obtained via electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) technique in a five-level M type system by using two probe lights with ± z-directional orbital angular momentum ±lħ, respectively. Together with the original transfer technique of quantum states from light to matter waves, the present result can be extended to generate continuous two-flavor vortex atom laser with non-classical atoms.
