“…We also provide analytical formulas for the spatial light coherence, showing that the correlation function strongly depends on the orientation of the field components with respect to the two observation points (r and r ′ ). Our study therefore unveils fundamental properties of electromagnetic waves in disordered media, that are relevant to the understanding of polarization-related phenomena in complex systems and may have important outcomes for medical and material science applications, where optical imaging and spectroscopy techniques could benefit from polarizationresolved measurements [41][42][43][44].…”

“…This scheme, in principle, outperforms conventional ones because the radially polarized beam carries all polarizations at once in a classically entangled state, thus providing for a sort of 'polarization parallelism'. For all practical applications where the optical properties of the sample change rapidly with time, our method presents an advantage over conventional Mueller matrix polarimetry [26,27,[30][31][32][33][34][35]. However, in practice, the detection setup required by our scheme is more involved than a conventional polarimetry one and is, therefore, potentially more sensitive to measurement errors.…”

Quantum approaches relying on entangled photons have been recently proposed to increase the efficiency of optical measurements. We demonstrate here that, surprisingly, the use of classical light with entangled degrees of freedom can also bring outstanding advantages over conventional measurements in polarization metrology. Specifically, we show that radially polarized beams of light allow to perform real-time single-shot Mueller matrix polarimetry. Our results also indicate that quantum optical procedures requiring entanglement without nonlocality can be actually achieved in the classical optics regime.

“…Electromagnetic waves propagating in disordered media are progressively scrambled by refractive index fluctuations and, thanks to interference, result into mesoscopic phenomena, such as speckle correlations and weak localization [1,2]. Polarization is an essential characteristic of electromagnetic waves that, considering the ubiquity of scattering processes in science, prompted the development of research in statistical optics [3,4] and impacted many applications, from optical imaging in biological tissues [5] to material spectroscopy (e.g., rough surfaces) [6], and radiation transport in turbulent atmospheres [7,8].…”
