We demonstrate quantum correlations in the transverse plane of continuouswave light beams by producing -4.0 dB, -2.6 dB and -1.5 dB of squeezing in theTEM00, TEM10 and TEM20 Hermite- Gauss modes with an optical parametricamplifier, respectively. This has potential applications in quantum informationnetworking, enabling parallel quantum information processing. We describe thesetup for the generation of squeezing and analyze the effects of variousexperimental issues such as mode overlap between pump and seed and nonlinearlosses.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
