Normalize the supplied Bell state as , with and . For a measurement of linear photon polarization, the two orthogonal analyzer states can be taken asAssigning outcomes gives the observablewhere are the Pauli operators. The angle of the Bloch vector is twice the physical analyzer angle. HenceEach has eigenvalues and square equal to the identity operator.
For , the Pauli operator correlations are , , and . Substituting the measurement of linear photon polarization into gives . In particular, opposite physical angles give perfect anticorrelation. The sum of angles here depends on this choice of Bell state and basis conventions.
