polarization

Because photons behave according to quantum mechanics, their polarization cannot be measured without leaving detectable traces.

XL-Calibur is designed to measure the polarization of light, a property that describes the orientation of electromagnetic vibrations.

Instead of relying on magnetic or electric polarization states, these materials contain vortices of electric dipoles.

This effect describes how the polarization of light rotates as it travels through a material placed in a constant magnetic field.

They’re home to exactly the kinds of voters who, in principle, might give someone like Platner a hearing: not deeply ideological, modestly skeptical of both parties and wary of national polarization.
