    "abstract": "We present a theoretical analysis of the connection between classical\npolarization optics and quantum mechanics of two-level systems. First, we\nreview the matrix formalism of classical polarization optics from a quantum\ninformation perspective. In this manner the passage from the\nStokes-Jones-Mueller description of classical optical processes to the\nrepresentation of one- and two-qubit quantum operations, becomes\nstraightforward. Second, as a practical application of our\nclassical-\\emph{vs}-quantum formalism, we show how two-qubit maximally\nentangled mixed states (MEMS), can be generated by using polarization and\nspatial modes of photons generated via spontaneous parametric down conversion.",
