I'm trying to follow the logic to the quantum theory of the entanglement of light. I'd like to ask a question about one of several problems I'm having with the entanglement.
If:
Photons (Light) have orthogonal electric and magnetic waves.
And:
In discussions of polarization of light for the entanglement of photons I find no reference to the magnetic waves, even in discussions of "hidden variables".
Also, the "polarization paradox" discussions seem to ignore the magnetic wave component.
(By polarization paradox I mean a 45° polarizer between an H and V polarizer will restore light)
It seems the magnetic component can predict the electric component, and vice versa.
Likewise, the polarization paradox experiments seems to show there is information at 45° (between the orthogonal magnetic and electric waves).
Then:
Either I missed something, or the magnetic component needs to be accounted for in the polarization of photons.
Thanks in advance for setting me straight on this particular entanglement issue.
