BvU said:Don't think such a paper would make it through the reviewing process. Better check textbooks and such.
calinvass said:To properly test a filter, I understand we can use a source of vertically polarized light. We send photon by photon say 1000 though a filter at, for example, 45 degrees the count the ones on the other side. We should get roughly 500, depending of the quality of the setup.
I was interested in a link to a paper that presents such an experiment.
A polarization filter is a type of optical filter that blocks certain polarizations of light while allowing others to pass through. It consists of a material with aligned molecules that only allow light waves with a specific orientation to pass through, while absorbing or reflecting all other orientations.
Yes, a polarization filter can be used to send photons through one at a time. By adjusting the orientation of the filter, individual photons can be selectively allowed to pass through while others are blocked.
A polarization filter is different from other types of filters because it selectively blocks light based on its polarization, rather than its wavelength or intensity. This allows for more precise control over the transmission of light.
Polarization filters have many practical applications, including in photography, 3D glasses, and LCD screens. In terms of sending photons through one at a time, it could be used in quantum communication or cryptography to ensure secure transmission of information.
Yes, there have been numerous experiments and studies conducted on using polarization filters to send photons through one at a time. This technology has been used in various applications, including in quantum encryption and quantum teleportation.
