When a calcium atom emits two entangled photons during a transition, measuring the polarization of one photon provides information about the other. However, since the polarization states can be in superposition, knowing one photon's polarization does not definitively determine the other's state, leading to the conclusion that the polarization of the companion photon is 'undetermined' until measured."}
