An objective analysis is carried out of the matricial models representing the polarimetric properties of light and material media leading to the identification and definition of their corresponding physical quantities, using the concept of the coherency matrix. For light, cases of homogeneous and inhomogeneous wavefront are analyzed, and a model for 3D polarimetric purity is constructed. For linear passive material media, a general model is developed on the basis that any physically realizable linear transformation of Stokes vectors is equivalent to an ensemble average of passive, deterministic nondepolarizing transformations. Through this framework, the relevant physical quantities, including indices of polarimetric purity, are identified and decoupled. Some decompositions of the whole system into a set of well-defined components are considered, as well as techniques for isolating the unknown components by means of new procedures for subtracting coherency matrices. These results and methods constitute a powerful tool for analyzing and exploiting experimental and industrial polarimetry. Some particular application examples are indicated.read more

Generalized Jones matrix method for homogeneous biaxial samples.
TL;DR: This work proposes a general method to derive the GJM of arbitrarily-oriented homogeneous biaxial media based on the differential generalized Jones matrix (dGJM), which is the three-dimensional counterpart of the conventional differential Jones matrix.

Reduced form of a Mueller matrix
José J. Gil,Ignacio San José +1 more
TL;DR: LuLu and Chipman as mentioned in this paper proposed a simple procedure based on the Lu-Chipman decomposition to transform any depolarizing Mueller matrix into a reduced form which accumulates the depolarization and polarizance properties into a set of six parameters.

Spacetime manipulation of quantum information around rotating black holes
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the X-ray photons emitted by the accretion disks around rotating black holes acquire orbital angular momentum, two degrees of freedom that can encode quantum information.
