Which risk arises when measuring entangled photons' polarization?

A)Collapse of the wave function
B)Spontaneous parametric down-conversion
C)Quantum decoherence is accelerated
D)Superposition states will be maintained

💡 Explanation

Measuring one photon collapses the wave function of both, because quantum entanglement links their states irrespective of distance through instantaneous correlation; therefore, the original superposition is lost from both photons rather than maintaining their superposition.
