Title: One-bit photon polarization in two-photon experiments. An information mechanics perspective

Journal Article · · International Journal of Theoretical Physics; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00674971· OSTI ID:7206206

In this paper is presented a detailed treatment of amount and representation of photon polarization information in the two-photon experiments of Aspect, Grangier, and Roger, seeking to test Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen's thought experiment. Newton's mechanics, Einstein's relativistic mechanics, and quantum mechanics do not treat as fundamental the amount and representation of information in physical systems. The line of reasoning presented here was reached via Kantor's information mechanics. The information bookkeeping presented here appears to offer a simple, physical insight into what the apparatus and the photons are doing together.
