In the QTG, polarization is the identification of the plane of oscillation of the temporal waves represented by the electromagnetic waves, where the direction adopted as preferential, in keeping with previous conventions of wave theory, is that of the electrical field vectors. The reference for oscillation in space-time is the axis of the Local Time Reference of the Observation System (LTR-OS) and, in the case of a polarizing crystal as an OS, the optical axis.
This preferential oscillation plane is acquired by the temporal wave of the particle or object at the moment when it is dispersed by the atom. We can verify that, for each OS outside the plane to the direction of oscillation, we have a different polarizing angle.
In the QTG, the spin of a particle or object is an indication of its temporal situation in relation to the LTR-OS at the instant of measurement (see figure 1). The temporal spin varies from observer to observer, as its value depends on the position of the particle or object in relation to the LTR-OS. It oscillates around the time reference of the LTR-OS and is different for each observer at each instant.
Figure 1 shows an electromagnetic wave schematically, to simplify the identification of its components. In this wave, we see the vectors of the electrical field oscillating parallel to the x axis, and the vectors of the magnetic field oscillating parallel to the y axis.
Conventionally, the z axis represents the LTR-OS. At a given instant ‘a’, we could hypothetically attribute a spin value of -½ for OS-A (observing the vectors in the direction of the past), while for OS-B, exactly opposite, we have a spin of +½ (vectors in the direction of the future). The polarization, at 90°, is the same for both OS, because they are in the same plane. At instant ‘b’, half a wavelength after ‘a’, exactly the opposite spin values are observed.
