Maybe I'm wrong, but whenever I look up the topic there seems to be contradictory information. Maybe the latest in QM is too new to be stable? For ppl in the know, here is a simple (maybe) question: I can model "spin" of a photon such that two photons added with opposite spin direction will result in a polarised profile: but I can also add two polarised photons that produce a rotating pattern. polarisation always seemed unnatural to me - do "real" photons spin (one way, or another) and only combinations result in polarisation? Because photons are often depicted as elementary (not the result of combining multiple photons), but also polarisable..
