Abstract
A single polarized photon can be rotated to its orthogonally polarized state with an angle of Ï/2. For the state of N polarized photons in the same spatial mode, the rotation angle can vary between Ï/2N and ÏâÏ/2N for different states. Experiments on the two-photon states under different rotation operators are demonstrated in this Letter. The minimal rotation angle of Ï/4 is observed and the two photon de Broglie wavelength of λ/2 is shown.
