Polarization monotones of two-dimensional and three-dimensional random electromagnetic fields
arXiv:1709.07307 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.97.023804
Abstract
We propose a formal resource-theoretic approach to quantify the degree of polarization of two and three-dimensional random electromagnetic fields. This endows the space of spectral polarization matrices with the orders induced by majorization or convex mixing that naturally recover the best-known polarization measures.
