Hello,
I got a question regarding the probability amplitudes of polarization. Say you rotate the polarization amplitudes to 45% so the photons that pass through a filter have 50% probabilty of vertical or horizontal polarization. Is that 50% probabilty much like the probabilty of say throwing coins in the air? Meaning yes the probability of each coin being heads or tails is 50% but upon counting the actual result for each trial of sets of coins you can get more or less of heads or tails, but after many trials it averages out to 50%?
