Quantum Polarimetry
arXiv:2112.08376 · doi:10.1016/bs.po.2022.01.001
Abstract
Polarization is one of light's most versatile degrees of freedom for both classical and quantum applications. The ability to measure light's state of polarization and changes therein is thus essential; this is the science of polarimetry. It has become ever more apparent in recent years that the quantum nature of light's polarization properties is crucial, from explaining experiments with single or few photons to understanding the implications of quantum theory on classical polarization properties. We present a self-contained overview of quantum polarimetry, including discussions of classical and quantum polarization, their transformations, and measurements thereof. We use this platform to elucidate key concepts that are neglected when polarization and polarimetry are considered only from classical perspectives.
