    "abstract": "The classical and the quantum Malus\u0027 Laws for light and spin are discussed.\nIt is shown that for spin-1/2, the quantum Malus\u0027 Law is equivalent in form to\nthe classical Malus\u0027 Law provided that the statistical average involves a\nquasi-distribution function that can become negative. A generalization of\nMalus\u0027 Law for arbitrary spin-s is obtained in the form of a Feynman\npath-integral representation for the Malus amplitude. The classical limit of\nthe Malus amplitude for large s is discussed.",
