Which outcome occurs when entangled photons traverse dispersive media?

💡 Explanation

Dispersive media causes temporal spreading; because each photon's velocity depends on its frequency, spectral decorrelation will reduce correlation in their arrival times due to group velocity dispersion, therefore arrival times become less correlated and broadened, rather than maintaining perfect entanglement.
