Abstract

For polarization experiments involving photon counting we introduce a quasi-deterministic eigenstate transition model of the analyzer process. Distributions accumulated one photon at a time, provide a deterministic explanation for the law of Malus. We combine this analyzer model with causal polarization coupling to calculate photon-photon correlations, one photon pair at a time. The calculated correlations exceed the Bell limits and show excellent agreement with the measured correlations of [ A. Aspect, P. Grangier and G. Rogers, Phys. Rev. Lett. 49 91 (1982)]. We discuss why this model exceeds the Bell type limits.
