- Photon_polarization abstract "Photon polarization is the quantum mechanical description of the classical polarized sinusoidal plane electromagnetic wave. Individual photon eigenstates have either right or left circular polarization. A photon that is in a superposition of eigenstates can have linear, circular, or elliptical polarization.The description of photon polarization contains many of the physical concepts and much of the mathematical machinery of more involved quantum descriptions, such as the quantum mechanics of an electron in a potential well, and forms a fundamental basis for an understanding of more complicated quantum phenomena. Much of the mathematical machinery of quantum mechanics, such as state vectors, probability amplitudes, unitary operators, and Hermitian operators, emerge naturally from the classical Maxwell's equations in the description. The quantum polarization state vector for the photon, for instance, is identical with the Jones vector, usually used to describe the polarization of a classical wave. Unitary operators emerge from the classical requirement of the conservation of energy of a classical wave propagating through media that alter the polarization state of the wave. Hermitian operators then follow for infinitesimal transformations of a classical polarization state.Many of the implications of the mathematical machinery are easily verified experimentally. In fact, many of the experiments can be performed with two pairs (or one broken pair) of polaroid sunglasses.The connection with quantum mechanics is made through the identification of a minimum packet size, called a photon, for energy in the electromagnetic field. The identification is based on the theories of Planck and the interpretation of those theories by Einstein. The correspondence principle then allows the identification of momentum and angular momentum (called spin), as well as energy, with the photon.".

- Photon_polarization dupe "Sinusoidal plane-wave solutions of the electromagnetic wave equation".
- Photon_polarization reason "Has the state space become a function space all of a sudden, with θ serving as the independent variable? I thought the state space was C^2. The sudden appearance of a differential operator without a space to use it on appears to be bleed-through from another model out there in the quantum ether somewhere.".
- Photon_polarization reason "The operator that make the polarization angle into an observable has not been defined or referenced.".
- Photon_polarization reason "The word legal is not generally used in formal scientific writing.".
- Photon_polarization reason "These rules are expressed much too loosely. What are "two successive probabilities" in scientific terms? What sort of statements, states, or sets of inequalities qualify as "possibilities"? What is a "way"? There seem to be a lot of unstated heuristics at work here, and the reader is left with the impression that QM is a collection of rules-of-thumb that have not been formalized.".
- Photon_polarization reason "What is θ here? Also, what are x and α_x?".
- Photon_polarization section "yes".
