Abstract: | The correlations of the linear and circular polarizations in the system of two photons have been theoretically investigated.
The polarization of a two-photon state is described by the one-photon Stokes parameters and by the components of the correlation
“tensor” in the Stokes space. It is shown that in the case of two-photon decays π0 → 2γ, η → 2γ, K

0 → 2γ and the cascade process |0〉 → |1〉 + γ → |0〉 + 2γ(|0〉 and |1〉 are states with the spin 0 and 1, respectively) the final
two-photon state represents a characteristic example of the entangled (nonfactorizable) state, and the correlations between
the Stokes parameters in all these decays have the purely quantum character: the incoherence inequalities of the Bell type
for the components of the correlation “tensor”, established previously for the case of classical “mixtures”, are violated.
The general analysis of the registration procedure for two correlated photons by two one-photon detectors is performed. |
