I'll leave out vectors / eigenvalues and just use 'n' for this explanation if it's OK. To me it looks like it starts out as an ordinary differential equation of the second order. (The second derivative of ψ(x) = k^2*ψ(x) basically). The solutions should be of the form ψ(x) = A sin (ωx)...

Maybe I have an answer to my own question. If: as per the above, when an electric - magnetic wave reacts with a molecule in a polarizing structure, any "charge" of the molecule appears in relative motion to the magnetic component of the incident light / photon. This would result in a force...

Thank you for your reply Demystifier, you have addressed my larger, unstated questions which do include photon detection as well (from your example; the number-of-photon basis). Please allow me to rephrase my smaller question: The explanations for photon entanglement that I have read...

I'm trying to follow the logic to the quantum theory of the entanglement of light. I'd like to ask a question about one of several problems I'm having with the entanglement. If: Photons (Light) have orthogonal electric and magnetic waves. And: In discussions of polarization of light for...
