Note that, statistically, the "quantum magic" of extra correlation in the analysis is inserted via the call to swap_LR_channels(), which
is statistically fully dependent on whether the initial photon pair is [0, 90] or [90, 0].
 
We are not using quantum mechanics (which is supposed to be agnostic about mechanisms, anyway), and the light pulses are not presumed to be "photons". I purposely kept that word out, even though transmitting light bursts is what experiments do. The light bursts could be modeled as very short bursts of electromagnetic waves. The correlation coefficient can be regarded as that of the electromagnetic fields of the light pulses, computed according to classical optics. Nevertheless, given the experimental arrangement, we get the results predicted by quantum mechanics, ''which is widely supposed to be impossible to do with a classical model'' of experiments. It is something to think about. --[[User:Chemoelectric|Chemoelectric]] ([[User talk:Chemoelectric|talk]]) 12:34, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
