Non-classical correlations in reducible Quantum Electrodynamics
Abstract: The question is discussed whether the momentum of a photon has a quantum uncertainty or whether it is a classical quantity. The latter assumption is the main characteristic of reducible Quantum Electrodynamics (rQED). Recent experiments in Quantum Optics may resolve the question. The non-classical correlation of quantum noise in color-entangled beams cannot be explained by rQED without modification of the standing explanation. On the other hand, rQED explains uncertainty of the momentum of a single photon when it is entangled with a quantum spin residing in its environment. The explanation of the historical experiment with equally-polarized pairs of photons, showing violation of the Bell inequalities, invokes the argument of collapse of the wave function, also in rQED.
