Abstract
Entanglement, one of the most representative phenomena in quantum mechanics, has been widely used for fundamental studies and modern quantum technologies. In this paper, we report the observation of nonlocal cancellation and addition of optical rotations with polarization-entangled photons in fructose solutions. The entanglement also enables probing optical activities at a distance by joint measurements on the entangled photons. The good agreement between the experimental results and theoretical predictions demonstrates the potential for extending these measurements to other chiral molecules, with a sensitivity that improves as the number of entangled photons increases.
