On Superposition and Entanglement of Polarized Photons Without Hidden Variables

Authors: Eugen Muchowski

Polarized photons have properties that can be explained, among other things, by their indistinguishability. These include superposition and entanglement. The locality of entangled photons can thus be explained without hidden parameters. We propose that the superposition state can be understood as the entirety of all mixtures of indistinguishable perpendicularly polarized photon beams. Superposition of indistinguishable photon beams can be demonstrated experimentally using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. This explains how the polarization of the input state reappears at the output of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
