Previously, EPR entanglement has been studied in different physical systems but in fixed coordinate spaces. Here, we demonstrate an experiment of ghost imaging and ghost interference in rotated position-momentum spaces by using positionmomentum entangled photons generated from a hot atomic ensemble. By using different image objects,the measured position-momentum correlations exhibit intriguing dynamics, including gradual decrease and axis-independent EPR entanglement. The reported results on manipulating the EPR entanglement in rotating coordinate spaces hold promise in quantum communication and distant quantum image processing.展开更多
