These wires naturally tend to align with the polarization direction of incoming light.

It’s not a silver bullet that cures polarization, settles complicated policy debates or ensures that everyone gets along.

Light can be disordered in one characteristic, such as the directions in which it travels, while still creating photons that are entangled through another characteristic, such as polarization.

But we share a conviction that in an age of loneliness, polarization and technological disruption, America needs more spaces where people can show up as whole human beings and practice citizenship.

Given Walt’s need to exert control and Chris’s extravagantly independent nature, polarization was inevitable.

"Spatially variable birefringence, that is, the difference in the propagation of different polarizations of light, acts like a synthetic magnetic field," explains Dr. Piotr Kapuściński of the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw.

“It may create a divide between the transitional government and the public. We are looking for a decent discussion based on the interests of Sudan without any polarizations or accusations.”

Such pairs of photons can be prepared together—entangled—so that their polarizations are always found to be in the opposite direction when observed.

When the pulses first leave the interferometer, they have different polarizations.

Heat, light, electricity, magnetism, are by some regarded as specific fluids; by others, as undulations of one or more specific fluid; and by a third class, as undulations or polarizations of ordinary matter.
