Entangled photons are generated, for example, by parametric down conversion (SPDC). The ordinary photon beam has polarization 0° and the extraordinary photon beam comes with the polarization 90°. Each photon leaves the source in a cone of light. Both cone shells intersect in two beams, which are thus each a mixture of horizontally and vertically polarized photons in equal share.
My question is how are photons related, which do not emerge on the line of intersection of the cone shells but are each clearly assigned to one of the two cone shells.
Does anybody know if this is measured already?
