Quantum theory of polarimetry: From quantum operations to Mueller matrices

Quantum descriptions of polarization show the rich degrees of freedom underlying classical light. While changes in polarization of light are well described classically, a full quantum description of polarimetry, which characterizes substances by their effects on incident light's polarization, i...
