Coherence and entanglement in mixed classical light

ORAL

Abstract

We study the analogue of quantum entanglement in mixed states of classical light, where we investigate the relationship between Polarization Coherence and the Entanglement between the degrees of freedom of light. For a specific class of states, we demonstrate how the coherence shared between these two properties shrinks in size as the level of purity decreases.
