copilot says, 'Photon polarization is the quantum mechanical description of the classical polarized sinusoidal plane electromagnetic wave 1. An individual photon can be described as having right or left circular polarization, or a superposition of the two 1. Equivalently, a photon can be described as having horizontal or vertical linear polarization, or a superposition of the two 1. The polarization of a photon is a two-state quantum-mechanical system that can be manipulated and measured by using optical devices, such as polarizers, wave plates, and detectors 23. The polarization of a photon is also related to its spin, which is a form of intrinsic angular momentum that can have two possible values, either parallel or antiparallel to the direction of propagation 4.
